Dual-Use Biological Readiness
CLOAK engineers the skin's native microbiome for long-duration repellency against disease-vector insects.
Climate change is expanding where mosquitoes live, putting more people at risk every year.
CLOAK adds a new tool in the fight against malaria, working alongside existing treatment, vector control, and vaccines.
Built for continuous use in the field, meeting U.S. military and NATO reliability standards, without the hassle of constant reapplication.
CLOAK engineers naturally occurring skin bacteria to modify the chemical signals mosquitoes use to locate humans. Protection is engineered at the source of attraction, not by masking with topical chemical agents.
One application keeps working for 11+ days in animal studies, versus a few hours for sprays like DEET.
Applied like any spray, just no harsh chemicals, no smell, and nothing left behind on your skin.
Verified efficacy across the Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex genera, plus sandflies.
Our founders led the original DARPA-funded research CLOAK is built on.
