Our grant International

Support international scientific research

Since 2017, The Biocodex Microbiota Foundation rewards international research projects focused on human gut microbiota related to health and disease. Every year, the call for proposals covers a specific theme chosen by a committee of independent international scientists.

Through this grant, the Foundation aims to support Physicians, PhDs and Pharm D working in subject areas, such as gastroenterology, paediatrics, microbiology, infectious diseases and internal medicine and based anywhere in the world.
