The Body Has More Bacteria Than Human Cells

The intimate microbiome sub-institute owns the urogenital and reproductive surface. The nutrition institute owns the diet-microbiome interaction. The CureForge Whole-Body Microbiome & Postbiotics Institute closes the gap between them. Eleven specialized AI systems collaborate across the gut microbiome foundation model trained on multi-cohort 16S and shotgun-metagenomic data, oral microbiome biology and the periodontal-cardiovascular-Alzheimer’s links, skin microbiome biology, lung microbiome biology, the gut-brain axis with vagus-nerve signaling, fecal microbiota transplantation building on the recently approved live biotherapeutic class, purified postbiotic chemistry including short-chain fatty acids, designed bacteriophage therapy coordinated with the infectious disease institute, mycobiome characterization, microbiome-immunity coordination, and microbiome-drug-metabolism interactions affecting every other CureForge therapeutic program.

Value proposition:

• All body-site microbiomes under one research engine
• Designed phage, postbiotics, and live biotherapeutic strategies
• Microbiome-drug-metabolism interactions as default cross-talk to every therapeutic
