Microbiome Therapeutics and Preclinical Models

Preclinical models have been a point of contention within the microbiome space, with many believing the current models are not fit for purpose due to the microenvironment of the models not being comparable to that of humans. Hence recent research has revolved around finding more appropriate animal models to replicate how human diseases interact with the microbiota.

This 3-page infographic explores the current data surrounding preclinical models, looking at efficacy, toxicity and pharmacokinetic models, and takes a look towards the future.
