Living Microbial Therapeutics for Health & Agriculture

We develop precision microbial consortia that restore gut ecology, rebalance skin health, and rehabilitate depleted soils, backed by $6.8M in federal research funding.

Our Mission

Restore & Strengthen Human Health Through Living Microbial Ecosystems

Founded in 2017 as a Johns Hopkins University spinout, SciNet Industries develops precision microbiome therapeutics and diagnostic platforms that restore microbial balance across human health, from chronic gut conditions to degraded agricultural soils.

Our technology restores native microbial ecosystems, enables early dysbiosis detection through AI-driven diagnostics, and engineers targeted probiotic therapies, all backed by nine federal research awards totaling over $6.8 million.

Technology

Five Platforms, One Mission

From precision consortia to AI-driven diagnostics, our technology portfolio addresses critical challenges across clinical medicine, public health, and regenerative agriculture.

FLORACORE

Precision Consortia

Rationally designed microbial consortia that restore gut ecology in patients with recurrent C. difficile and inflammatory bowel disease. Strain-specific formulations calibrated to individual dysbiosis profiles.

DERMABIOME

Topical Therapeutics

Live biotherapeutic skin formulations that rebalance the cutaneous microbiome. Targeting chronic eczema, acne, and wound healing by reintroducing commensal organisms displaced by conventional treatments.

Predictive Dysbiosis Engine

Diagnostic AI

Machine learning platform that maps metagenomic sequencing data to disease risk scores. Identifies microbial imbalance signatures months before clinical symptoms appear, enabling preventive intervention.

SynthBiome

Engineered Probiotics

Next-generation probiotic strains engineered for targeted metabolite production — short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan derivatives, and bile acid modulators — to address metabolic and neurological conditions.

TerraSync

Agricultural Microbiomics

Soil microbiome restoration products for regenerative agriculture. Reintroduces native microbial communities to depleted farmland, reducing synthetic fertilizer dependence and improving crop resilience.

Government Trust

Backed by Federal Research

Trusted by the National Institutes of Health, DARPA, the USDA, and the National Science Foundation.
