Lectenz Bio (fka Glycosensors and Diagnostics) was spun-out from the research group of Prof. Robert J. Woods at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, located at the University of Georgia. We established operations in 2009 at Innovation Gateway, home to several biotechnology companies in Georgia’s Innovation Crescent. In 2013, the company established its satellite operations in San Diego, California as a resident company of Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS. In 2016, we graduated from JLABS and relocated to the San Diego Science Center. In 2017, as part of commercialization the company rebranded as Lectenz Bio.

Since establishing operations, we formed collaborations with experts in academia and industry and secured non-dilutive funding through grants, contracts, and partnerships. We have received multiple awards, honors, and recognitions. These accomplishments were achieved by validation of key aspects of the Lectenz® platform, addition of our GlycoSenseTM platform, and led to the development of the Lectenz® product pipeline. The company was issued a patent for the Lectenz® platform technology and is expanding and protecting its intellectual property portfolio.
