Technical Assistance

We build research collaborations that lay the foundation for microbiome-informed solutions to global health challenges. By supporting study design, capacity building, and technical guidance, we help generate high-quality, locally relevant data on how the microbiome influences conditions like childhood malnutrition and mental health.

Our goal is to enable scalable, evidence-based interventions by building global scientific infrastructure and partnerships needed to translate microbiome science into impact—especially in underserved regions.

Harnessing the Microbiome to Prevent and Treat Malnutrition

Severe acute malnutrition results in nearly 2 million preventable child deaths every year. OpenBiome Foundation’s program in Malnutrition is bringing together a coalition of scientists to advance new therapies for this urgent public health threat.

Our Work

We bring our vision to life by:

Expanding Access

We break down barriers to microbiome therapies, so patients can get the care they need—when and where they need it.

Funding Boldly

We support pioneering scientists and high-impact research that accelerate the future of microbiome therapies.

Building Systems

We create open-access tools, train providers, and support infrastructure that will last long after our work is done.

Collaborating Globally

We partner with local and global leaders to build solutions that are scalable, sustainable, and informed by diverse communities.
