Science & Tech
By mapping the gut ecosystem with rigorous science and proprietary technology, we’re unlocking a future of better care.
Clinical-grade science
Clinical-grade testing demands superior science and technology. At Microba, we pair rigorous science with precision technology to deliver insights you can trust. Every step, from sample collection to report generation, is designed for accuracy, completeness, and clinical relevance.
We choose the hard road of building new scientific and technological standards because that is what’s needed to change the future of healthcare. Our integrated approach delivers a more accurate picture of the gut microbiome and its role in health, helping practitioners make evidence-based decisions with confidence.
Built on evidence
For nearly a decade, Microba has led gut microbiome science, driving discoveries that shape understanding and enable confident, clinical-grade care.
Our multidisciplinary team of scientists, researchers, doctors and practitioners spans the fields of microbiology, gastroenterology, immunology, infectious disease, bioinformatics, metagenomic sequencing and clinical translation. Together, our team has produced hundreds of publications and received thousands of citations in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Through ongoing research, including the Microba Science Review – draws on more than 1500+ peer-reviewed studies and over 7500+ hours of evaluation – we continue to raise the standard for gut microbiome testing.
Our Technology
Microba’s technology delivers comprehensive gut microbiome profiling using next-generation metagenomic sequencing – the gold standard in gut microbiome research.
