Our Story

Cuprina’s story begins with our Co-Founder, Carl Baptista, who has a deep passion for Biotechnology and exploring biological means of solving some of the world’s challenges.

Although Carl began his career working in the pest control industry, he came to appreciate the opportunities insects can offer industries and quickly became a passionate advocate for insect conservation. While studying Applied Entomology, Carl learned of the medical applications of insects and particularly the benefits of maggot debridement therapy to treat chronic wounds. Convinced he could improve on the existing treatment methods, Cuprina Wound Care Solutions was born.
