L2M Validate / Qc Winter 2026 / Bellycure

This project will evaluate whether existing microbiome testing methods can be applied in a more affordable and practical way. The focus is on validating feasibility rather than creating a new approach. To do this, microbiome sequencing, analysis, and sample preparation will be outsourced to commercial facilities, ensuring reliable results at a lower cost. If the necessary permits are obtained, some steps may later be tested within the lab. The partner organization will benefit by gaining clear evidence on whether pursuing this direction is worthwhile, helping guide future decisions about accessible microbiome-based tools for patients and healthcare providers.
