EnteroBiotix, a company focused on microbiome treatments, closed a $34 million funding round to support their research and product development.
The company investigates how the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria in our intestines) impacts general health and plays a role in chronic diseases.
EnteroBiotix uses a technique called intestinal microbiota transfer (IMT) to introduce healthy gut bacteria into patients.
Unlike traditional methods, EnteroBiotix offers a standardized, easy-to-use version of IMT delivered in capsules.
The funding will push their primary product (EBX-102-02) into Phase 2 clinical trials for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and further the development of treatments for liver diseases.
This investment highlights growing interest in the potential of microbiome-based therapies to treat a wide range of health conditions.
