At Locbio, we specialize in the development of new Synthetic Biology tools. We have created an innovative technology to reprogram cells, as a result of over 17 years of basic research at the Institut Pasteur of Montevideo dedicated to understanding how bacteria perceive their environment and make decisions. Using protein engineering tools and artificial intelligence, we design tailored biosensors that enable the reprogramming of natural cells to perform specific therapeutic actions, offering more potent, precise, and safer treatments than the existing ones.

Our main products involve: a therapeutic bacteria capable of detecting and combating colorectal cancer tumors and next-generation CAR-T cells engineered for solid tumors. Our passion for science and desire to improve people’s quality of life drive us to create innovative biology-based solutions.
