Bridging the Gap Between Phage Science and Patient Care
Tolka AI was founded on a simple observation: the science of phage therapy has advanced dramatically, but the operational infrastructure to deliver it to patients hasn't kept pace. We're here to close that gap.
Our Story
Phage therapy — using bacteriophages to target drug-resistant bacteria — is one of medicine's most promising answers to the antimicrobial resistance crisis. But for the clinicians who actually try to administer it, the journey from identifying a resistant infection to treating a patient is a maze of regulatory filings, lab logistics, manufacturing coordination, and multi-stakeholder communication.
We saw infectious disease physicians spending weeks assembling expanded-access applications by hand. Microbiology labs shipping isolates with no visibility into what happened next. Pharmacists chasing down manufacturing timelines over email. Coordinators managing entire programs on spreadsheets.
Tolka AI was built to replace that friction with a purpose-built platform. We work with clinicians, regulators, and manufacturing partners to create workflows that reflect how phage therapy actually works — not how enterprise software wishes it did.
Our Mission
To make patient-specific phage therapy operationally simple, so that every clinician who identifies a candidate can move from isolate to treatment without the operational barriers that delay care today.
What Guides Us
Patient-First Urgency
Every feature we build is measured against one question: does this help a clinician get a targeted therapy to a patient faster? If not, it doesn't ship.
Clinical Empathy
We understand the pressure of treating patients who have exhausted conventional options. Our tools are designed to reduce cognitive burden, not add to it.
Scientific Rigor
Phage therapy sits at the intersection of microbiology, regulation, and manufacturing. We embrace that complexity and translate it into clear, actionable workflows.
Institutional Trust
Hospitals and research centers entrust us with sensitive clinical data. We earn that trust through transparent practices, robust security, and relentless reliability.
