2026 World Microbiome Day

World Microbiome Day: Peggie

Did you know there are more microbial cells in your gut than there are human cells in your entire body? These tiny organisms play a crucial role in our health and wellbeing, and they help to shape our immunity, digestion, and even our mental health.

At Achieving Cures Together, we’re proud to support the research that’s turning this science into real treatments. Through our partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Microbiota Therapeutics Program, we’ve helped fund breakthroughs in microbiota transplant therapy that have helped thousands of patients fight life-threatening recurrent C.difficile infections and advance research in areas like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, autism, ALS, and more. Today on World Microbiome Day, we celebrate the trillions of tiny organisms working behind the scenes to keep us healthy and to the research bringing their power into the light.
