Centre for Phage Biology and Therapeutics

CENPBAT is a pioneering Nigerian research centre transforming healthcare through bacteriophage-based innovations. We develop targeted therapies for antimicrobial-resistant infections, phage-based cancer vaccines, and other novel medical solutions. Founded in 2022, CENPBAT is the first centre in Nigeria to establish a comprehensive phage biobank, isolating and characterizing phages from local environments to create effective, affordable, and accessible treatments. Our team combines cutting-edge science with sustainable infrastructure, including renewable energy solutions, to ensure uninterrupted research and development. CENPBAT collaborates with global research institutions and the private sector to scale phage therapeutics for local and international impact. Investing in CENPBAT means supporting next-generation therapies with the potential to revolutionize infectious disease treatment, cancer immunotherapy, and broader phage-based medical solutions. We offer a unique opportunity to back a scientifically rigorous, socially impactful, and globally relevant innovation hub in Africa.
