Global Microbiome Conservancy
Advancing Microbiome Science Equitably and Ethically:
The vision of the Global Microbiome Conservancy (GMbC) is to advance microbiome science through global conservation, capacity building, representation, and scientific innovation. GMbC works to preserve microbial diversity by sampling, culturing, and storing gut microbiomes from populations around the world, creating an open, non-profit repository of humanity’s microbial heritage. The organization strengthens research capacity by providing comprehensive scientific training and support to partner institutions, enabling consortium members to drive microbiome research within their own regions. GMbC also prioritizes equitable representation by collaborating closely with diverse and historically underrepresented communities, ensuring inclusivity in all aspects of its work. Through educational initiatives and the development of accessible scientific resources, GMbC contributes to the broader advancement of microbiome knowledge and helps address fundamental questions about the human microbiome.
Microbiome Centers Consortium :
The Microbiome Centers Consortium is a cooperative, inclusive and collaborative network of microbiome centers that aims to accelerate the understanding of all microbiomes. We share and develop intellectual, educational, and technical resources and promote common adoption of data standards and ethical guidelines as the field of microbiome science moves from discovery to translation.
