EVOPROG

Designing a new line of drugs and antibiotics based on viruses

The goal of EVOPROG is to design a machine capable of producing new biomolecules. The machine is based on the use of viruses, which modify the DNA of bacteria and make them produce the desired molecules. If successful, EVOPROG could significantly accelerate the development of new drugs and antibiotics.
