SenesTech is an early stage biotech company specializing in reproductive physiology. Its mission is to develop nonsurgical methods for controlling reproduction in rodent and wildlife populations — methods that could profoundly increase food production throughout the world. SenesTech is currently using its proprietary chemical compound branded ContraPest™ to control the Southeast Asian Rice Rat and increase rice production. The first technology of its kind, ContraPest™ uses species-specific protocols to accelerate the natural depletion of follicles in the mammalian ovary, causing sterility. Follicles are depleted without causing systemic toxicity, adverse side effects, or environmental impacts.

Based on technology licensed from the University of Arizona, SenesTech was founded in Flagstaff in 2002. The company recently entered into a strategic alliance with the government of Australia to control rodent populations in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. SenesTech is also developing strategic partnerships with international industries, nonprofits, and universities to accelerate the translation of its platform technology into marketable products within 24 months. Domestic and international patents are pending.
