Aquila Bioscience

Aquila Bioscience is a biotechnology company based in Galway, Ireland, that specializes in glycobiology-based pathogen capture and decontamination technologies. A spin-out from the National University of Ireland Galway, the company has developed a proprietary platform that uses nature-inspired carbohydrate-protein interactions to physically trap and neutralize harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Their lead commercial product, the ABD (Aquila Bioscience Decontamination) wipe, provides a non-toxic, alcohol-free alternative to traditional chemical disinfectants, making it safe for use on human skin and sensitive equipment. The technology is utilized by healthcare providers, defense forces, and commercial entities to enhance infection control and biosecurity. Aquila Bioscience continues to expand its platform for applications in diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
