About Finch Therapeutics

Finch Therapeutics is a mission-driven biopharmaceutical company that aims to develop novel microbial therapies serving patients with serious and unmet medical needs. Founded by data scientists, clinicians, and microbiologists from MIT and OpenBiome, Finch uses machine-learning algorithms informed by high-throughput molecular data to reverse engineer successful experiences with fecal transplantation. Through this and other clinical datasets, Finch identifies the microbes that drive desirable clinical outcomes, and develops therapies that deliver those microbial communities to patients. FIN-403 is both Finch’s lead clinical program and a valuable tool for its broader human-first discovery strategy.
