Our science
Bacteriophages are naturally occurring viruses that selectively infect and destroy bacteria. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, phages can be precisely matched to specific bacterial pathogens, enabling targeted treatment while minimising off-target effects.
Xenova Biosciences develops rigorously characterised, lytic bacteriophage cocktails designed for clinical use. Our approach combines modern microbiology, genomic characterisation, and pharmaceutical development principles to create safe, scalable phage-based therapeutics.
Our development strategy emphasises:
Strictly lytic phage selection
Comprehensive genomic characterisation
Robust manufacturing and quality control
Regulatory-aligned CMC development
Xenova Biosciences operates with a development strategy aligned to UK MHRA and international regulatory standards.
