A global network of microbiome leaders united in optimizing positive clinical outcomes
to accelerate safe, effective and approved microbiome-based therapeutics to patients
A private network for Microbiome drug developers
Designed by Microbiome drug developers
At a time when milestone regulatory approvals are shaping the microbiome-based therapeutic landscape and with more companies entering the clinic, now is the time to gain momentum and succeed as a whole industry to drive awareness of the microbiome in human health.
We need to build confidence in investors, understand the regulatory environment, and demonstrate the potential of microbiome-based therapeutics in other disease indications beyond the gut.
To address some of these challenges head-on, microbiome pioneers worldwide have created the Microbiome Drug Development Searchlight network The networks sole purpose is to optimize positive clinical outcomes to accelerate safe, effective and approved microbiome-based therapeutics to patients.
The network fosters pre-competitive experience sharing and value exchange. By joining, you can benefit from this networks’ innovative thinking, avoid making the same mistakes as others, capitalise on best practices, and accelerate the delivery of safe, effective, and approved microbiome-based therapeutics to patients.
Business critical conversations
Virtual cornerstone meetings
We facilitate, structured, discussion-driven, Microbiome-focused quarterly meetings for member companies.
Each high-impact 90-minute meeting takes place virtually via Zoom. The meeting agenda is carefully curated and focused on the topics and critical challenges requested by Searchlight members.
Member companies are represented by one internal champion with strategic oversight over its microbiome program to ensure that each discussion is high-value, high-impact, and delivers tangible outputs for members to take back to their organization.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation
Searchlight makes meaningful progress
“As leaders in the microbiome field with the goal to develop both safe and efficacious LBP drugs to meet the unmet needs of patients; we are all simultaneously facing our challenges. The most logical way to bring LBPs to market at an efficient pace is to share our experiences and knowledge while maintaining our Intellectual Property, that will accelerate benefits to the patient. And this is the opportunity I see that the Searchlight network will provide.”
“We can support one another in making meaningful progress by exchanging knowledge and offering guidance based on our own experiences. Being part of this Microbiome Drug Development Searchlight network means that we are more than willing to work collectively in this exciting and challenging fast-growing field.”
“My view is that the microbiome therapeutics sector is at a critical juncture as first-generation donor derived programs move into the clinical and cell bank derived consortia and single strain products move further down clinic translation. To help the sector address these challenges we require a central forum that can focus on the technical aspects of regulatory, CMC and clinical development. This searchlight network has the potential to be that essential forum for the microbiome industry”
