September 3, 2021 -- Felix Biotechnology was recently awarded a $256,000 Small Business Innovation Research phase I grant by the National Science Foundation to further enhance the company's machine-learning technology.
The grant will be used to fund Felix's machine-learning approach for engineering bacteriophage as a novel treatment for drug-resistant bacterial infections.
The funds will support Felix's efforts in engineering phage for improved efficacy and utility, starting with proof-of-concept work in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen of high clinical need, the company said.
