Our work

Conservation

We dedicate our efforts to sampling a diverse range of microbiomes from around the world. By culturing, isolating and storing gut bacteria, we are building an open, non-profit and global library of our microbial heritage.

Representation

We foster collaborations with human populations worldwide, with a particular emphasis on engaging underrepresented communities. Through these partnerships, we aim to promote inclusivity in the field of microbiome science.

Capacity Building

We promote capacity building within partner institutions by offering comprehensive scientific training and research support, empowering GMbC consortium members to contribute to scientific progress in their regions.

Advancing knowledge

We participate in educational initiatives and generate resources for the research community to advance microbiome science. Leveraging these resources, we address scientific questions related to the human microbiome.
