Persephone Biosciences is recruiting parents to donate stool samples from infants under the age of 8 weeks. The poop kit is in a black box. Company CEO Stephanie Culler showed us the contents: “easy-to-use instructions' and an 'easy-to-use scoop.”
A healthy body means a healthy microbiome, which stores the bacteria that reside in the gut. And San Diego-based Persephone Biosciences is recruiting parents to donate their infant’s poop, so they can learn what babies have in their gut and what microbes they might be missing.
“We know there has been a substantial increase in the last two decades of food allergies,” she said. “A lot of that can be coming from the microbiome.”An employee of Persephone Biosciences has removed bacteria collections taken from infant stool samples from cold storage, where they are kept at minus 200 degrees Celsius, on Sept 8, 2022.
“When we’ve done a comparison with the Amish, the Amish baby microbiomes are way more diverse,” Culler said of the culture that rejects many aspects of modern life.
