Developing The Next Generation Of Living Medicines
Bloom Science is developing genetically optimized living medicines that target diseases in neurology, immunology and oncology. Our unique approach elucidates connections between clinical outcomes, the microbiome, and critical disease pathways. We then use genetic tools to engineer superior biopharmaceutical properties in our microbiota therapeutics.
