Empowered Patient Podcast Creating Precision Probiotics Based on Whole Genome Sequencing of Microbiome with Sunny Jain Floré by Sun Genomics
Sunny Jain is the Founder and CEO of Floré by Sun Genomics and is driven to better understand the microbe cells that live inside of our intestinal tract and all around our body. With a history of working at Illumina, Sunny is studying the DNA from those cells, the microbiome, to understand their function and how they contribute to our overall health.
Sunny explains, "Sun Genomics has created the world's only precision probiotic, And it utilizes AI, DNA sequencing, biome chromatics, and e-health technology. Our technology helps us build the largest database of microbiomes that are sequenced via metagenomics, or whole genome sequencing, to understand the modulatory effects or the changing effects that food ingredients and probiotics can have for 80 plus million Americans that suffer from gut health issues every year."
"So, you truly are unique, from a gut microbiome perspective. Our human DNA is 99.9 percent similar. So, we're very identical from a human DNA perspective. But the DNA from microbes of the gut, you're maybe 10 percent similar, and you are 90 percent unique from the gut microbiome."
"And this is really where I think precision medicine can enable a lot of advancement to our human health. It is really within that large, vast difference where we will be able to find much more customized solutions."
