Microbiome research institutes

Microbiome research institutes are specialized organizations that study the tiny microorganisms—like bacteria, fungi, and viruses—that live in and on our bodies, as well as in the environment. These microbes play vital roles in our health, digestion, immunity, and even mood. The institutes conduct scientific research to better understand these communities, how they affect us, and how we can promote their balance for improved health and well-being. Their work helps develop new treatments, diagnostics, and therapies by uncovering the complex interactions between microbes and humans.
