“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 whilst 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”
