Research interests
At TeOra we provide disease management solutions for aquaculture. We have a pipeline of products to prevent and treat infections for various parasites, including viruses and bacteria, and we are developing vaccines for fish and shrimp. We have a proprietary bioinformatics and oral delivery platform that can be adapted to design and produce vaccine solutions adapted to aquaculture disease, and potentially to other domestic animals.
