Prospective Research, Inc is creating feed incorporated preventative disease management solutions for the aquaculture industry that completely removes the need for antibiotics and medicated feed. The company’s technology platform allows them to modulate bacterial behavior using microbial signaling molecules for the local delivery of therapeutics directly inside the gut of any farmed species.
The company seeds trillions of bacterial pharmacies into the microbiome of fin-fish, shrimp, and shellfish, and can selectively turn on bacterial genes encoding bio-active therapeutics inside the animal for protection against bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens. The company’s future plans include moving into the agricultural space to produce replacements for antibiotic growth promoters, as well as adaptive probiotic solutions for crop diseases.
The company was founded in 2015 by Dakota Hamill and Jake Cotter, organic chemists from the Boston, MA area. The company is headquartered in Beverly, MA.
