The 2016 Arrowhead Translation Microbiome brought the who’s who of the microbiome community together last week in the heart of Boston. Top key opinion leaders in the field came together to discuss new therapeutic discoveries, disease indications and regulatory pathways. Seres Therapeutics, the leader in microbiome therapy development, opened the meeting discussing their pipeline and recently designated “FDA Breakthrough Therapy”, Ser-109, for the treatment of reoccurring C. difficile infections. Other big players in attendance were Commense and Osel, Inc, who are both working to understand the impact of the vaginal microbiome on health and disease and how to treat a dysbiotic vaginal environment.
