Invest in the future of medicine

We’re redefining healthcare by rewilding the gut ecosystem. Our proprietary CONSORTIOME® platform is powering next-generation co-cultured therapeutics, positioning us as a global leader in the field. We invite you to unlock the full potential of microbiome medicine with us.

Redefine healthcare with us

We’re not just advancing a new area of science — we’re building the foundation for an entirely new category of medicine.

BiomeBank was the first to deliver a regulated donor-derived microbiome therapy — a breakthrough that has already set us apart in a rapidly emerging, multi-billion-dollar global market.

Today, we’re building scalable next-generation microbiome therapeutics with our CONSORTIOME® platform.

BiomeBank holds a defensible leadership position at this rare inflection point with: 

  • the world’s largest culture collection
  • co-cultured products in development
  • real-world data
  • regulatory approval 
  • proprietary manufacturing
  • commercial traction underway

This technology is treating gut disease with emerging potential to address multiple major health areas from liver, infection control and cancer therapy support through to immune, metabolic, neurological and even cardiovascular health.

Join us in reshaping the future of human health.

A unique ecosystem based approach to drug development

Like many thriving ecosystems found in nature, diversity is the key ingredient for a healthy gut microbiota. Modern lifestyles and environments are causing gut bacterial diversity to decline, and this is associated with the rise of numerous chronic diseases.

BiomeBank is at the forefront of developing therapies that harness the power of ecology and technology to engineer an ecologically diverse consortia of microbes carrying that specific mechanism of action, as well as emergent therapeutic properties that manifest at the community level.

CONSORTIOME®
Our breakthrough technology
Our team of translational microbiome experts have developed a breakthrough co-culturing platform that has enabled us to generate an artificial human gut microbial community in a bioreactor — the CONSORTIOME®. CONSORTIOME® is a rationally designed consortia containing more than 90% of the known gene families in a healthy person’s microbiome The CONSORTIOME® platform enables the development of bespoke therapies with targeted functions to treat disease at a much lower cost than other microbial products.

Annotation using the NCBI COG database (”Clusters of Orthologous Genes”) identified members of 1775 gene families from a healthy donor metagenome, of which over 90% of gene families were represented in the consortium metagenome.

The market for microbial therapies

The global microbial therapeutic market is projected to reach a valuation of US$30 billion by 2030, making the gut microbiome a new frontier in medicine. 

BiomeBank’s breakthrough co-culturing technology mean it is well-positioned to become a global leader in the sector. Our first such co-cultured therapy, BB265 for ulcerative colitis, has been designed using data from use of BiomeBank’s donor derived therapy in clinical trials and entered human trials in 2024.

10% market penetration = $1.3 billion per year

A snapshot of
ulcerative colitis

In 2021 sales of treatments for ulcerative colitis in 2021 totalled $7.3B. By 2032 the Total Addressable Market (TAM) is expected to reach $13.0B annually.1

Current therapies are inadequate with 30-35% remission rates and a 10-40% loss of response in patients. Also, many existing therapies for UC have risks of adverse events related to immune suppression, resulting in a large unmet medical need. 2

BiomeBank’s BB265 is formulated to disrupt the UC market and to provide a better solution patients with ulcerative colitis.

What makes BiomeBank
different?
  • Ecosystem approach

    Our unique approach to microbiome-based therapies treats disease by repopulating missing microbes and restoring lost functions

  • Experienced team

    BiomeBank is made up of a team of microbiome drug development experts based in a world-class cGMP manufacturing facility in the heart of Adelaide’s medical precinct

  • Unique co-culturing platform

    Our breakthrough co-culturing platform gives us the potential to create treatments for defined and patented disease specific functions that have total addressable market sizes in the billions of dollars

  • Approved live biotherapeutic product

    Our approved therapy for recurrent C. difficile infection shows a track record for commercialising microbial treatments

Development pipeline

BiomeBank has strong track record of commercialisation. Our donor-derived microbiome therapy was the first regulator-approved microbial therapy in the world.

We are currently supplying this product to physicians based in Australia to treat patients with C. difficile infection.

BiomeBank is now leveraging the real-world, human data collected from these therapies as well as employing our cutting-edge CONSORTIOME® platform to engineer and test a pipeline of novel, co-cultured microbial therapies.

The potential drug candidates

BB265

BB265 is a rationally designed cultured microbiome therapy engineered for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. BB265 was developed using BiomeBank’s CONSORTIOME® platform and data from a discovery trial using BIOMICTRA® (donor derived) therapy in patients with active ulcerative colitis. BB265 is scheduled to enter a phase 1b/2a study in 2025.

BB128

BB128 is a rationally designed cultured microbiome therapy engineered for the treatment of an orphan disease indication. A discovery trial in this orphan disease indication is underway using BIOMICTRA®.

Optimising the
drug discovery
funnel

1.

Identify
Leveraging real-world, human data from our existing therapies to establish the causation of disease, our ‘human-first’ model of discovery allows us to more rapidly and precisely identify the ‘mechanism of action’ when compared to animal models.

2.

Develop
Harnessing the latest technology, we mine real-world data and select candidate strains from our leading culture collection. Employing our cutting-edge CONSORTIOME® platform, we engineer an ecologically diverse consortia of microbes carrying that specific mechanism of action, as well as emergent therapeutic properties that manifest at the community level.

3.

Optimise
Delivering BiomeBank potential drug candidates with the highest chance of clinical success.
