Kaleido Description
Many diseases and conditions are linked to the microbiome. Discover how Kaleido is transforming the promise of microbiome into solutions that benefit patients. The human microbiome, which includes bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and other organisms, is a collection of over 30 trillion microbes. Research has increased exponentially over the past decade on the effects of the microbiome on human health, including diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, and cancer. This complex microbial ecosystem has been called a "newly discovered" organ. Many other human organs are worth tens to billions of dollars for therapeutics that modify physiology and treat disease. The microbiome organ is a promising therapeutic option.
