Healthy stool donation study for medical research
This study asks healthy people to donate stool samples regularly to help build a microbiome bank for research. It may help scientists understand and treat diseases related to gut bacteria.

This study looks at whether a special diet can help restore good bacteria in your gut after you receive a fecal transplant (a procedure that puts healthy bacteria from a donor into your gut). You'll be asked to take capsules or receive a transplant, and some participants will follow a certain diet to see if it improves gut health.
This trial is looking for healthy stool donors to provide samples for fecal microbiota transplantation, a treatment that uses healthy bacteria from stool to help people with certain gut diseases. As a donor, you would give stool samples regularly to help others.
This study collects stool samples from healthy adults to see how dairy phages and antibiotics affect gut bacteria. It helps researchers understand how our diet and medicines interact with the microbiome.
This study looks at how different ways of handling human samples affect the accuracy of gut bacteria analysis. It aims to improve testing methods, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment for digestive conditions.
This study collects bowel-related samples from healthy people to help researchers test a “colon model” in the lab. You may be eligible if you live or work close by and you don’t have ongoing stomach/bowel conditions or recent major changes.
This study creates a storage bank of biological samples like blood, stool, and tissue. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the body interacts with the natural microbes that live in and on us, which may help improve treatments for many diseases.
