Overview
We are harnessing the powerful smell receptors from insects to deliver a sensor technology that will put nature's language at your fingertips. Unravelling the mystery of how insects smell led to a ground-breaking discovery - a panel of synthesized insect odorant receptors could be used to make a device to smell and taste chemical compounds. Scentian Bio was formed to create a novel technology for commercial use in medical, food and industrial settings.
