ELIGO BIOSCIENCE
THE MICROBIOME COMPANY
From lab to startup
Eligo Bioscience was created in 2014 based on the research from the Lu Lab (MIT) and the Marraffini Lab (Rockefeller University), which was later published in Nature Biotechnology.
Eligo was incubated at the Institut Pasteur in Paris from 2014 to 2017 and has moved in 2017 into the biotech cluster “Paris Biotech Santé” in the Cochin Hospital..
