Spectre Bio | Genome-Free Synthetic Biology

Breaking Free from Biology's Baggage

The full potential of synthetic biology remains confined to the laboratory. Natural living systems are constrained by billions of years of evolutionary baggage, introducing background noise and unpredictability that compete with engineered functions. Furthermore, regulatory and societal concerns over genetically modified organisms have slowed the translation of powerful biological tools into the real world.

Our Solution: Bacterial-Like Particles (BLiPs)

We asked: what if you could create a modular biological chassis that contains all the hardware required to run any genetic software? Spectre Bio's solution is the bacterial-like particle (BLiP). We have developed a process to disintegrate a bacterium's genome while preserving the essential cellular machinery required for the user-intended applications

Intrinsically Safe

Without a genome, BLiPs cannot replicate, evolve, or engage in horizontal gene transfer.

Highly Programmable

BLiPs act as a natural, clean bio-chassis, ready to be loaded with application-specific genetic software.

Platform Adaptable

Our framework is designed to create genome-free lifeforms from any bacterial species, tailored to specific needs.

Hardware, Meet Software

Think of each bacterial species as a unique piece of hardware, each with its own strengths. Our genome-cleavage framework acts as an installer, wiping the native code and preparing the chassis for safe, controlled operation. Once 'installed', these BLiPs can be loaded with application-specific genetic software, transforming them into biological devices for diagnostics, therapeutics, or environmental functions.
