Finch Therapeutics Group

Finch Therapeutics is a mission-driven microbiome engineering company, is developing novel microbial therapies to serve patients with serious and unmet medical needs. The company uses machine learning algorithms to reverse engineer successful fecal transplantations and other clinical datasets, identifying the microbes that drive responses in patients. This human-centric discovery model leverages clinical data to focus on in-vitro and in-vivo efforts on cocktails of microbes that have already demonstrated safety and efficacy in humans. This enables early retirement of translational risk and avoids the challenges of extrapolating host-specific effects from animal models. Finch Therapeutics was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts.
