Interested in Becoming a Stool Donor?
Seeking Qualified Donors in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area

Rebiotix Inc., a Ferring company, is the first company to take on the challenge of developing microbiota-based therapeutics for recurrent C. difficile infection and other debilitating diseases. Essential to our process are the donors who provide the human stool required to manufacture our live biotherapeutic products.
We aim to harness the power of the gut microbiome by collecting human stool, which contains the microbes we need to make our drug therapy for patients. Our live biotherapeutic product (REBYOTA™) is delivering live, human-derived microbes into a sick patient’s intestinal tract to treat disease.
