Biohm Technologies has announced the opening of its new research laboratory at Portal Innovations’ Science Square campus in Atlanta.
This new space marks a strategic expansion of Biohm’s R&D footprint to accelerate the development of next-generation microbiome ingredients and is designed to advance the company’s work at the intersection of data science and microbiology.
Situated within Atlanta’s rapidly growing life-science hub and steps from Georgia Tech, the state-of-the-art Science Square campus provides Biohm with access to a collaborative scientific ecosystem.
With three members of its leadership team already based in the region, Atlanta was a natural choice for Biohm’s continued investment in research.
“Establishing a dedicated lab within Science Square enables us to scale our microbiome research and bring new innovation to the natural products industry faster,” said Sam Schatz, CEO of Biohm Technologies.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to advancing the science of the gut microbiome — especially the under-recognised role of fungi — and translating that research into meaningful product innovation for our brand partners.”
The new lab will focus on strain development and characterisation, along with product-focused research on bacterial-fungal interactions within the gut microbiome, to support the next generation of dietary supplement innovation.
“As consumer interest in microbiome health continues to surge, supplement and functional food and beverage brands are looking for differentiated, science-backed solutions,” Schatz added.
“This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver that innovation.”
