The Bio-Selenium Platform
Bacteria as biofactories of therapeutic selenium-based nanomaterials
Leveraging the power of bacteria to create nanometric trojan horses that treat the disease caused by the bacteria itself

Bacterial-Produced selenium nanomaterials
An endless universe of possibilities
Our bacterial-produced selenium nanomaterials redefine the possibilities of nanotechnology as a biomedical tool
Newly engineered biological selenium nanoparticles (BioSeNPs) are a strong candidate for selective antimicrobial agents that can easily target the desired bacterial strains while leaving the rest of the host microbiome unharmed and without triggering a resistance response as seen with other commercially available nanoparticles or traditional antibiotics.
Other applications include anticancer agents, drug/gene delivery vehicles, and antioxidant active components.
