About
DisperseBio is an Israeli startup developing a sustainable and cost-effective solution to combat biofilm and biofouling. Their core innovation is a groundbreaking synthetic peptide that prevents biofilm formation by activating microbes' own self-degrading enzymes, offering a non-toxic alternative to traditional antimicrobial chemicals. The technology is inspired by a biological mechanism found in jellyfish and sea anemones, discovered by Dr. Amir Zlotkin. DisperseBio's bio-inspired coatings have applications in various high-impact areas such as SWRO desalination, maritime industries (shipping, aquaculture, offshore oil & gas), industrial water-cooling systems, and agriculture.
