Investigating microbiome derived approaches and assessing the role of microbiome in preclinical research
Agrowing interests of microbiome in Preclinical Research
Even if the causality is not always established, a microbial imbalance is being increasingly linked to several diseases, as gastrointestinal and dermal diseases, metabolic disorders, CNS pathologies or cancer.
Furthermore, the microbiome has been shown to influence the efficacy of immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic agents, as well as the metabolism of drugs. Based on preclinical studies, different strategies can be adopted to modulate the composition of the microbiome and exploit its immunogenicity to treat diseases in first line treatment or to circumvent primary resistance to standard of care.
The preclinical models can offer several interests to establish or confirm the microbiome interaction, providing important insights to moving into human clinical step. Here are some example of microbiome studies:
- Define the role of microbiome in precision diagnosis and personalized treatment
- Develop and evaluate microbiome therapeutics
- Study the relationship between microbiome composition and the disease of interest
- Understand the impact of a drug on microbiome and the influence of microbiome on individual’s response to a drug
