Bac-Be-Gone won a 2020 Ginspoon Entrepreneurial Concept Award in which each member of the team won $150. The team was nominated by a faculty member and were then asked to fill out an application about their venture. Since it is an individual award, each member of the team was awarded!

The team was created by these three undergraduates and targets development of products to eliminate or prevent MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infections!
