Vaginal Microbiome Consortium

The Vaginal Microbiome Consortium is an organization dedicated to studying the community of microorganisms—such as bacteria—that live in the vagina. These microbes play a key role in maintaining vaginal health, protecting against infections, and influencing reproductive outcomes. The consortium brings together researchers to better understand how these microbial communities work, how they affect women’s health, and how they can be supported or restored when imbalances occur. Their work aims to improve health strategies and develop treatments that promote a healthy vaginal environment.
