Globally Recognized Metabolic Experts and Industry Luminaries Underscore Pendulums Foundation of Scientific Rigor and Medical Innovation

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pendulum Therapeutics, an evidence-based microbiome company, announced today the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and Medical Advisory Board (MAB). The two boards comprise experts in metabolic disease, computational biology, genetics and microbiology who are faculty members at world-leading medical institutions.

Pendulum Therapeutics is the first and only microbiome company to apply the discoveries of high-resolution, long-read DNA sequencing to the development and commercialization of microbiome interventions targeting specific diseases. Advisory board members are working closely with Pendulums leadership team as the company seeks to apply genomic discoveries to the continued development of microbiome interventions.

We are incredibly fortunate to have these world-class experts support our work by providing ongoing guidance to our scientific and medical strategy and tactics, said Colleen Cutcliffe, co-founder and CEO. Together, we have created the first microbiome intervention for type 2 diabetes with both scientific and medical data. We are excited to work with our advisors, both collectively and individually, to further our mission of making millions of lives healthier through microbiome-targeted medical probiotics.

Ive long believed that the next major medical breakthroughs would come from analyzing and deciphering the complex world of the microbiome through rigorous excellent DNA science, said Eric Schadt, dean for Precision Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and founder and CEO of Sema4. Pendulum Therapeutics has built a microbiome discovery and development platform that stands at the center of this new field of medical innovation and is poised to revolutionize how we address chronic diseases through paradigm-shifting medical innovations.
