Our Vision

Our research mission is to extend the human healthspan, improve animal well-being, and to augment global food security.


We recognize that optimal health outcomes can only be achieved through understanding the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

Our Expertise

Our research seeks to unlink the dependence of scientific discovery on known taxonomic labels and gene annotations by mining lost information present within microbial sequencing data. 


We have expertise in developing bioinformatic methods to link microbiome features to diverse measures of host health using host metabolic panels and digital health tracking technologies.

Our Approach

Our brand is to provide a set of universal standards to link the microbiome to ecosystem services. This framework allows for multiple researchers to map to the same universal microbial framework, pinpointing of microbes or biosynethic clusters which perform functions of interest. 


We use a multiomic approach - next generation sequencing, comparative genomics, and single cell analyses to link how the microbiome associates with measures of host health and disease in diverse host systems.

Our Mission

Our ultimate mission is to create a universal map linking microbial sequence information (e.g. AGGGTTCTT...) to human-usable ecosystem products or services. We strive to not only publish, but produce, usable products to improve animal and human health.


For example, we strive to pinpoint microbial genetic biosynthetic genes which produce novel drug candidates, identify novel therapeutic targets with the microbiome, or identify microbial features which may perform bioremediation to detoxify environments.
