Join the PRI
Microbiome-based medicinal product and diagnostic developers are a dynamic group of stakeholders representing a diverse array of scientific and technological expertise, all of whom play an important role in realizing the full potential of microbiome science and its promise of revolutionizing the treatment and prevention of disease. Collaboration, innovation, partnerships, deal-making, and even competition all contribute to the progress of this field.
As an Association dedicated to supporting the European microbiome and health field, we organize a number of avenues of support and collaborative activities. In principle any legal entity (private or public) is eligible to join the PRI, as long as your organization is somehow involved or interested in getting involved in the research, development or commercialization of microbiome-based medicinal products or diagnostics for the European market.
