Hi! I have a number of projects I need help with. I'm looking for early-career designers who want to work under my wing and get some experience with scientific illustration and visual science communication. Let me know if you're available: https://lnkd.in/g57mPFQB

At this year’s Digestive Disease Week® (DDW), we presented new clinical data from two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with our flagship innovation, DS-01® Daily Synbiotic. One trial assessed the recovery effects of DS-01® on individuals during and following antibiotic usage, and the other evaluated DS-01® in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). So far, the data from these studies is promising, with findings that underscore our mission to transform breakthrough microbiome science into meaningful health impact. As Zain Kassam MD, MPH, our Chief Medical Officer¹, puts it: "DS-01® was formulated to maximize genomic diversity and set an entirely new standard in probiotics. Our latest clinical data expands DS-01®'s potential health impact, broadens its clinical use cases, and helps dispel the common perception in the medical community that all probiotics are created equal." Kudos to Zain and Brooke Ann Napier for representing Seed at DDW, and the rest of our R+D team, including Dirk Gevers and Sheri Simmons, for contributing to these foundational studies. And thank you for having us, DDW. We’re grateful for the opportunity to gather alongside the world’s leading gastroenterology clinicians, researchers, and industry experts to exchange ideas and research that will advance the field. • ¹ Last month, Zain Kassam officially joined Seed Health as Chief Medical Officer to lead our clinical research and medical affairs. An award-winning physician-scientist, Zain has played a pivotal role in the advancement of microbiome science for over a decade. He co-founded and was Chief Medical Officer at two of the most foundational microbiome therapeutics companies, OpenBiome and Finch Therapeutics, and his extensive body of work includes over 200 peer-reviewed publications and abstracts. He has also championed more than 30 Phase I-III clinical trials with top-tier academic institutions across multiple therapeutic areas. When new team members join Seed, they’re asked to share a six-word story of themselves. Zain said, “Science for everyday health at scale”. We couldn’t agree more. Welcome, Zain.

As a follow on to yesterday’s launch of Seed’s new vaginal synbiotic - VS-01™— I’m excited to share that the results from our randomized, controlled clinical trial are now available as a preprint on MedArxiv. In this study, we demonstrate that VS-01 rapidly establishes an optimal vaginal microbiome. https://lnkd.in/ebgG2S9x

Excited to share that Seed Health will today be presenting new clinical data on DS-01® Daily Synbiotic at @Digestive Disease Week, assessing its impact on both antibiotic recovery and IBS. Our presentations will highlight the results from two pivotal randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials: ⚡ Antibiotic Recovery: DS-01® significantly improved both short-term and long-term gut barrier integrity during and following broad-spectrum antibiotics, restored baseline microbial diversity, and enriched both synbiotic and endogenous beneficial bacteria. ⚡ Irritable Bowel Syndrome: DS-01® led to significant improvements in abdominal pain among participants with IBS, enriched beneficial bacteria, and increased serotonin levels in IBS-M participants, suggesting a potential mechanism of action. These findings underscore Seed Health’s commitment to transforming breakthrough microbiome science into clinically validated consumer health innovations. Join us at #DDW2024 to learn more about how DS-01® is advancing the field of microbiome science. Kudos to Brooke Ann Napier and Zain Kassam MD, MPH who are representing Seed at DDW! https://lnkd.in/e8QVQvNA

This is so fun to watch! Seed Health donated their ad space to get Molly Baz ‘s Swehl campaign back in action in Times Square today. What I love about this: • Complimentary brands working together to further the cultural conversation. (PS it’s also good for business!) All ships rise, people! • The Molly Baz brand voice is so strong and authentic that she shines clearly through all of the noise… even when promoting another brand on another 3rd brand’s billboard. • I needed to feel some empowerment this week and seeing a confident pregnant superwoman gazing over Times Square with cookies over her breasts did the trick! • This is more proof that having a stance as a brand is a GOOD thing. Your customers want to CONNECT with you. Stop worrying about offending people who were never going to buy your product to begin with. Build a brand bigger than the sum of its parts. Say something more than “buy my stuff” I’m here for ALL OF THIS 🙌! Now where can I get some of those cookies?!

“The microbiome completely reshapes the way we’ve always thought about health—our understanding of biology, our understanding of our bodies, our understanding of our connectivity to the living world, to Earth, to each other. We use that same construct to say, ‘How can the brand itself be disruptive to some of the traditional ways we think about marketing?’” Today in Ad Age, our Co-Founder Ara Katz and Chief Creative Officer Charles Fulford on our ‘anti-marketing’ marketing philosophy. Thank you, Tim Nudd for the kind words. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/e72QE-5V
