How to Plan and Conduct a Microbiome Study

Who is this guide for

Whether you are new to microbiome research or have previous experience, this guide was created for anyone interested in studying microbial communities. From scientists to business leaders, we have prepared a complete guide to walk the reader through planning and conducting a meaningful microbiome
study.

What it covers

This comprehensive document is based on the combined multi-decade experience of our team in microbiome testing, having worked on almost 500 microbiome studies. It covers all the key steps from study design and execution through to analysis and interpretation, including many useful resources and supporting documents. 

Why we created it

Our goal as an organization is to support our clients and advance microbiome research from basic science to commercial research and development. That's why we've done a deep dive into the process of conducting microbiome research to make it accessible and straightforward.

The Company

Microbiome Insights, situated in the heart of the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus, was born from both the Life Science Institute and the Personalized Medicine Initiative. The scientific backbone of the company is formed by UBC professors Dr. Brett Finlay and Dr. Bill Mohn, and CEO Malcolm Kendall.
Understanding the microbiome is one of the fastest growing areas of science, and a critical part of investigating how microbes function in and interact with their environments. Our team of experts and testing methods combine to provide end-to-end service with comprehensive bioinformatics for clients interested in including microbiome analysis into their studies.
