OpenBiome Foundation is a Boston-based nonprofit organization operating in the biotechnology research space. Its work centers on advancing microbiome science to improve health and, specifically, to address gaps in care related to Clostridioides difficile infection, building on its origins in expanding safe access to investigational fecal microbiota transplantation for patients with C. difficile. As a small nonprofit, it emphasizes research, knowledge sharing, and translation of microbiome insights to benefit patients who need them most. In September 2024, the foundation participated in a Science Summit at the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the gut microbiome's role in children's health and malnutrition. This recent activity aligns with its broader aim of applying microbiome science to pressing health challenges and disseminating expertise beyond its immediate work.
