"Developing pill-sized devices for minimally invasive gut microbiome sampling"
BioMe Oxford develops BioCapture, a pill-sized medical device for targeted and minimally invasive sampling of the human gut microbiome. The device addresses limitations in current diagnostic methods, which are often expensive, invasive, or inaccurate. BioCapture enables accurate sampling from any part of the intestines, suitable for research and clinical use. The gut microbiome has been linked to conditions including inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. By enabling cost-effective and accessible microbiome sampling, BioMe Oxford improves understanding of how microbial signatures relate to disease, supporting better diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic strategies.
