We’re working hard to raise standards in the industry. We’ve conducted a wide range of studies and have a strong publication record.

We’ve worked with companies big and small, setting up solid studies that deliver real impact. And we have fun doing it!

With clinics in Cambridge, London and Manchester, we do it all. From exploring the effects of FMT to putting probiotics to the test.

Innovative research like this doesn’t have to break the bank. So, whether you’re a big or small business, get in touch to find out what our research could do for you.
