Openbiome Foundation Inc

Clinical research program: openbiome seeks to enable translational research on the human microbiome. To achieve this, we offer a suite of services designed to help investigators uncover the role of the gut microbiome in human health and explore how engineering it can lead to improved health outcomes. Our services include study design and regulatory support for clinical trials, and bioinformatics and analytical services. Openbiome also sponsors its own studies investigating critical microbiome-related health conditions.

The global microbiome conservancy (gmbc) partners with scientists worldwide to conserve, study, and share the underrepresented and at-risk diversity of human microbiomes. The gmbc has established a network of 80+ researchers in over three dozen countries and built a diverse collection of samples and bacterial isolates to spark scientific discovery and enable new solutions to microbiome-associated disease. In 2024, openbiome supported this program by providing grants to aid in the collection of samples and isolates in various countries.
