About Kaleido

The microbiome is implicated in numerous diseases and health conditions. Learn how Kaleido is leading a differentiated approach to translating the promise of the microbiome into solutions for patients. The human microbiome is a community of more than 30 trillion microbes, organisms that include bacteria, viruses, archaea and fungi, which reside on and inside the human body. Over the last decade, research has increased exponentially on the impact the microbiome has on human health, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and allergies. This highly complex microbial ecosystem has been referred to as a “newly discovered organ.” Many other human organs command tens of billions of dollars for therapeutics that treat disease by modulating physiology. From a therapeutic perspective, the microbiome organ remains a largely untapped frontier in healthcare.
