Phiome

Phiome is a biotechnology company dedicated to mapping and harnessing the human virome—the vast collection of viruses inhabiting the human body. Founded by pioneers in microbiome research from the Weizmann Institute of Science, the company utilizes a proprietary computational platform to analyze the complex interactions between the virome and human health. Phiome aims to identify viral signatures and bacteriophages associated with diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders, and oncology. By translating virome data into precision medicine solutions, the company seeks to develop novel therapeutics and diagnostics that address unmet medical needs. Phiome's approach represents a significant advancement in microbiome science, moving beyond bacterial analysis to explore the therapeutic potential of the body's viral ecosystem.
