Important Update - Project temporarily closed.

We are currently not able to supply any of our regular collection kits.

The Microsetta Initiative and its subsidiaries, including the American & British Gut Projects, have pivoted to COVID-19 research. We are working as hard as we can, but please be patient as these changes have required a complete overhaul of our infrastructure.

In addition, we are in urgent need of funding to support these research endeavors. As part of the UC San Diego School of Medicine, we are actively working with frontline workers, sharing limited resources, and engaged with the broader San Diego research network studying all aspects of this virus and disease. Please consider making a donation directly: https://go.ucsd.edu/2QlTi8n
