Master Microbiome Research Skills: Essential Tools & Techniques

Master microbiome research skills with essential tools and techniques. From sequencing to data analysis, you can elevate your methods and start advancing today. Building strong microbiome research skills means designing robust experiments, processing raw sequencing data, identifying taxa and functional pathways, and translating findings into actionable insights for health, performance, and longevity. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products across brands. Its modular design includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that sums up gut health based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. With Bacteria abundances, users can compare their top 40 bacteria against a healthy cohort, while Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative to show how an individual scores on each functional pathway relative to healthy norms. Target Group analysis dives into cohorts such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, providing targeted insights into which pathways matter most. To turn data into concrete actions, the platform also delivers personalized nutrition advice and tailored probiotics and prebiotics guidance derived from integrating 3-day food diaries with stool results.

The solution is highly modular and scalable for B2B partners, enabling white-labeled gut health testing that brands can own. And because InnerBuddies also offers consumer-facing options, all B2B capabilities are available directly to consumers as well, making it easier to run pilots, validate findings, and accelerate time to market.
