LoventiusBiology + technology for sustainability
Where passion finds solutions.
Loventius brings biology and technology together to solve real problems in the environment, in the lab and in healthcare. We start with the problem, then build the solution that fits it.

About Loventius
Most ventures start with a product and look for a use. We work the other way round. We find a problem worth solving, then build the biology and technology that solve it.

How we work
Start with the problem. Then build the solution.
01
Find the problem
Start from a challenge with real consequences and work out why today’s answers fall short.
02
Look to biology
Ask what microbes, algae and other living systems already do well.
03
Build and protect it
Turn the idea into a device, method, material or app, and file the patent.
04
Take it to market
Design products that can be made at scale and used beyond the lab.
Problems we solve
Every product starts as a question.
Pick a question to see the solution we built for it. Filter by field to narrow the list.

Funding
Backed by Madras Christian College.
Two Madras Christian College Seed Money Grants, awarded to the research team led by Dr. T. Sathish Kumar at the Department of Microbiology, to take two of our inventions forward.
MCC Seed Money Grant · I
₹40,000
Funded project
Triple Function Isolator Pen (T-FIP)
Awarded under the Madras Christian College Seed Money Grant for the T-FIP, a lab microbiology device that is now a published patent application.
MCC Seed Money Grant · II · 2026
₹1,00,000
Funded project
Epoxy-based specimen preservation
Awarded this year under the Madras Christian College Seed Money Grant to complete the epoxy-based composition for encapsulating and reviving biological specimens, a filed patent application.
₹1,40,000 in Madras Christian College seed money to date, across two patented inventions.
Software in development
Some problems need an app.
Not every problem needs a bioreactor. These are the platforms Loventius is building now. Choose one to try a preview.
Featured venture
ALGROVE: the liquid tree, made a product.
ALGROVE tackles the carbon crisis with the “liquid tree” idea of using algae to fix CO₂. Instead of a one-off installation, it is a modular, scalable platform of algae panels, designed with a robotics collaborator.
- Stage
- Design & planning
- Goal
- A deployable carbon-capture product
- Form
- Modular · panel-based · scalable
Build a grove, one panel at a time
Each ALGROVE unit is a self-contained algae panel. Need more capture? Add another unit beside it. Setting up a new site? Install the same units there.
The idea already has proof of concept.
LIQUID3 Belgrade, Serbia
A 600-litre urban photo-bioreactor that uses microalgae to bind CO₂ and release oxygen. It is said to match the carbon uptake of two mature trees.
It proved the concept, but it remains a single, fixed tank.
CityTree Green City Solutions, Germany
A moss-culture wall claimed to filter as much pollution as 275 trees, powered by solar panels and collected rainwater.
Its impact is disputed, and it costs about €400,000 a year to run.
BIQ House Hamburg, Germany
The world’s first building with a living algae façade. Algae grown in glass panels provide shade, biomass and heat energy.
It is a one-off building retrofit, not a standalone unit.
The gap
None of these scale as a product. ALGROVE is designed from the outset as a unit that can be replicated, not a one-off rebuilt at every site.
Founder
Samson Lijoseraj Charles
Founder, LoventiusPh.D. Scholar, Applied MicrobiologyInventor
An alumnus of Madras Christian College, Samson moved from industry into applied microbiology research and is now a Ph.D. scholar in the field.
He is a named inventor on five Indian patent applications in diagnostics, antimicrobial testing, specimen preservation, lab tools and protective equipment, and two of these inventions have won Madras Christian College Seed Money Grants. He founded Loventius to turn that problem-solving habit into real products, from lab tools and a carbon-capture platform to software for family health care and retail.
