Science-backed from the start
The world’s first ResBiotic was developed in Dr. Lal’s Pulmonary Microbiome Lab at University of Alabama at Birmingham with research and expertise from the University’s Microbiome Center, Lung Health Center, and Translational Research in Normal & Disordered Development (TReNDD) program.
From strain validation to product formulation to testing, we’re collaborating with leading scientists and research partners to develop the first microbiome-based nutritional interventions for lung health.
Core Values
Results First
As scientists and operators, data is at the core of our decision making processes. With a bias towards action and respect for iteration, we prioritize efficacy and integrity in all things.
Breathe Easy
Our passion is to make lung health easier and more accessible. Our ethos is simple and judgement free, every step of the way.
Radical Candor
Direct, open, and honest communication builds trust with customers, and also within our team. We don’t shy away from tough conversations – the only true failure is one we failed to identify and learn from.
Mission Driven
ResBiotic is made up of amazing individuals, but it’s how we come together that makes us truly great. We bring genuine care, curiosity, and creativity to our work, which makes things fun for customers and team members alike.
