Concerto Biosciences is a Cambridge, Massachusetts microbiome company that turns microbial ecology into health products. Its patented kChip platform screens millions of microbial interactions in nanoliter droplets to discover 'ensembles' - small, defined groups of microbes that work together to shepherd a damaged microbial community back to health. The company's lead program, ENS-002, is a topical live biotherapeutic for atopic dermatitis that suppresses Staphylococcus aureus without nuking the skin's helpful microbes. Founded in 2020 by scientists out of MIT and the Broad Institute, Concerto pairs ultra-high-throughput biology with AI to make microbial communities predictable and engineerable.
Tiny Health is an Austin-based health company that built the first at-home gut microbiome test designed for babies, then extended the same clinically-validated science to children, pregnant people, adults and longevity. It pairs DNA sequencing of stool and vaginal samples with age-specific reference ranges and personalized, research-backed recommendations, aiming to catch early microbiome imbalances linked to eczema, allergies, digestive issues and chronic conditions before they take hold.
