GUT HEALTH
Are you aged 18-50 and in good health?
You could help hundreds of people with
inflammatory bowel disease by donating
your poo!
Biotechnology company BiomeBank uses
processed poo as a treatment for disease
via faecal microbiota transplantation
(FMT – or stool transplant).
BiomeBank was established in 2018 by
two Adelaide gastroenterologists with
funding support from The Hospital Research
Foundation Group, and has since grown to
be a world-leading TGA-approved company.
But as BiomeBank grows and FMT is proven
to be a successful treatment, more and more
people are needed to donate poo.
Only a small percentage of people actually
pass the screening process, so finding people
to donate their poo is a hard task.
You are reimbursed for your time so it can be
a nice little earner, but you also have to be
available to make your deposits onsite in the city.
If you or anyone you know is interested, learn
more via www.biomebank.com/stool-donation.
