About NeuroBiome
NeuroBiome is building the next generation of personalized medicine for brain health. We are
developing an AI-powered precision-medicine platform that uses gut microbiome data and clinical
information to identify personalized microbiome-based strategies supporting the treatment of
neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. Our vision is to move beyond one-size-fits-all
approaches by understanding how each individual's microbiome interacts with their health and
treatment. We aim to translate advances in microbiome science, neuroscience, and artificial
intelligence into a clinically relevant and scalable platform. The initial platform will combine
shotgun metagenomic data, clinical data, and longitudinal patient monitoring. Our AI engine will
analyze these data to characterize patient-specific microbiome features and identify actionable
therapeutic strategies, with the potential to support treatment personalization and gut–brain axis
modulation. We are currently at the early pre-seed stage and are developing our MVP, clinical
collaborations, and first validation studies.
