Holobiome is private biotechnology company developing microbiome-based therapeutics for mental health. On the cellular level, humans are much microbe as man and for every human cell there is at least one bacterial cell either on our skin or inside of us. This enormous community of bacteria is our microbiome, and it has been shown to influence numerous components of human health, including metabolism, susceptibility to disease, and the immune response. Remarkably, recent evidence suggests the microbiome also influences mental health and behavior. Holobiome is developing a platform of microbiome-based therapeutics to treat diseases related to the nervous system through microbiome interventions.
