4D Pharma PLC
We are pioneers in harnessing bacteria as a revolutionary new class of medicines- called live biotherapeutics
Our products are strains of gut commensal bacteria which have been originally
isolated from healthy human donors. these are encapsulated, adminstered orally and delivered selectively to the gut where they interact with the patient and exert their therapeutic effects. Each strain is selected for its functionality in a similar way to how a small-molecule or biologic is selected to perform a specific role in combating a disease.
