Gut Microbial Biomarker Discovery Service
The human gut microbiome contains as many bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic microbes as the number of human cells in the body. They play an important role in health and disease and can be viewed as a mirror of the host physiology. Enriched experience associated with state-of-the-art facilities, Creative Biolabs has long-term devoted to the discovery and development of gut microbial biomarkers, and the identification of populations at risk of special human disease.

Gut microbiota and schizophrenia (SCH)
Preclinical studies have shown that the gut microbiota can play a role in SCH pathogenesis via the gut-brain axis. SCH patients may present characteristic microbiota, and certain microbiota biomarkers may predict treatment response in this patient population. The associations between the gut microbial compositions and the risk of SCH have also been reported in several psychiatric patient studies. Patients with SCH display a dysbiosis of gut microbiota. Moreover, several microbial biomarkers, such as genera Lactobacillus, family Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Veillonellaceae, and Streptococcaceae, have been identified, which are significantly correlated with symptom severity.

Gut microbiota and type 2 diabetes (T2D)
The gut microbiome is a diverse ecosystem with multiple metabolic and immune functions associated with the host diet and lifestyle. Therefore, considering the current variety of diets and lifestyles in human society, there are drivers of the gut microbiome yet to be accessed and explored to understand how they affect this ecosystem. T2D is linked both with host genetics and with dysbioses of the gut microbiota. Some T2D-related microbiota biomarkers have been identified. They may represent not only novel markers for early diagnosis but also a target for preventative therapeutic intervention.

Solutions for Gut Microbial Biomarker Discovery at Creative Biolabs
Creative Biolabs has a long-term devoted to biomarker discovery and development. We provide a one-stop solution for gut biomarker discovery, including sequence-based technologies and no-sequence-based technologies. Our technologies provide a powerful method for aggregating gut microbiome to perform differential abundance analysis.
The gut microbiome performs metabolic functions, protects against pathogens, and engages in a range of human diseases, particularly with the immune system and the gut-brain axis. Creative Biolabs is fully competent and dedicated to characterizing gut microbial signatures of various human diseases, and identifying microbial biomarkers. For more detailed information, please feel free to contact us.
