Our science focuses on developing alternative sustainable resources to make everyday products as well as high value substances for industries from food to fuels
NextGen Biofuels for Agric and Rural Development
SDG Goal 7 seeks to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
At Tractilis, we are developing a next generation plug-and-play biorefinery that enables an integrated process of transforming various feedstocks into multiple high and low value products including liquid fuels and other biochemicals.
Novel Therapies Around The African Microbiome
SDG Goal 3 seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
At Tractilis, we are pioneering the design and development of novel therapies around the African gut microbiome relevant for remedying diseases and improving health. We are advancing technologies that integrate intestine and pathway biology to improve health.
Industrial and Domestic Waste Bioconversion
SDG Goal 3 seeks to ensure safe drinking water and sanitation for all, focusing on the sustainable management of water resources, wastewater and ecosystems, and acknowledging the importance of an enabling environment. At Tractilis, we develop microbial systems that breakdown domestic and industrial waste converting them into high value resources for industries and other applications.
Our scalable and transformative approaches are critical for the rapid development African Communities
“A strong leadership for science R&D in Africa is required to break the barriers for scientific innovation to thrive, leapfrog and sustain disruptive approaches to fill critical gaps, and seize the opportunities in our daily lives. Tractilis is born out a strong passion to set a new standard to do transformative science on the African continent that draws and develop rich talent, networks, and skills to anchor life science R&D.”
