Opportunity To Investigate the Microbiome’s Impact on Science and Treatment In Colorectal Cancer

We are an international team working together to understand the colorectal cancer microbiome: what it is, how it is associated with cancer, and what treatments will affect the microbiome to promote health.

Our objectives are to:

  1. Map the colorectal cancer microbiome
  2. Develop microbiome-targeted therapies for colorectal cancer
  3. Share and disseminate our findings
