Microbes Lab SpA was founded in 2022 by two passionate microbiologists, Dr. Cecilia Silva-Valenzuela and Dr. Roberto Molina-Quiroz. They transitioned from academia to embark on an ambitious journey to contribute to the understanding of microbial life and address challenges in biomedicine and various industries. We have focused on custom molecular pathogen detection, offering tailored solutions to identify specific pathogens in diverse samples. Our first project was MASTODON.
Our company aims to pioneer novel technologies for pathogen detection, microbial analysis, and biotechnological advancements. We currently have a talented multidisciplinary group who share this vision. Leveraging cutting-edge molecular techniques, they aim to contribute to the development of novel technologies and solutions that will lead to rapid and precise results, catering to the needs of biomedicine, food safety, and other industries.
