Modulant Biosciences

“I’ve got this thing. Now how do I figure out how to grow it?”

Modulant Biosciences licensed a lactobacillus-based technology with real promise and no fermentation capability behind it. It needed two strains characterized, a dose it could defend, and material for live animal studies.
