Expect Better

Better science. Better insights. Better health.

We develop world-leading microbiome research and technology. We deliver tests that go deeper and broader. We craft Insights that improve people’s lives.​

Why? Because better is possible. Because better means more freedom and confidence. And, most importantly, because more freedom and confidence means better, happier lives. We are an ecosystem of people organised around one simple principle – making you better. Because better care doesn’t just transform individual lives, it builds healthier, happier communities.

At Microba, expect better. Because we do
