Pendulum Therapeutics Expands Collaboration with Mayo Clinic
References: prnewswire
Pendulum Therapeutics has expanded its clinical research collaboration with Mayo Clinic, one of the most respected medical institutions in the world, to investigate microbiome-based interventions for bone health in breast cancer patients, the gut-skin axis, and improving the menopause transition. This announcement builds on a relationship that began in 2013.
As part of the inquiry into bone health, gut-skin axis, and menopause transition, the research collaboration relies on Pendulum's portfolio of microbiome-targeted products along with its expertise in strain isolation, anaerobic manufacturing, DNA sequencing, and clinical validation. Mayo Clinic investigators will evaluate these new clinical studies.
Pendulum already has a track record of rigorous clinical research, having developed Glucose Control, the first probiotic clinically shown to reduce A1C in people with type 2 diabetes.
