Seres Therapeutics develops microbiome-based therapies that use beneficial bacteria to treat diseases, particularly focusing on conditions like Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and other gastrointestinal disorders. Their approach aims to restore the natural balance of bacteria in the human body, addressing the root causes of these diseases. Unlike many traditional treatments, Seres Therapeutics emphasizes the use of the microbiome, which sets it apart from competitors in the biopharmaceutical market. The company collaborates with healthcare providers and research institutions to enhance its therapeutic solutions. Seres Therapeutics' goal is to improve patient outcomes by bringing effective microbiome therapies to market through extensive research and development, clinical trials, and commercialization efforts.
