Personalized probiotic development requires deciphering the intricate dynamics of the human microbiome, where a single gram of fecal matter contains over 10^11 bacterial cells across hundreds of species. Current screening methods face considerable challenges: culture conditions that fail to mirror the gut environment, bioinformatic complexity in analyzing strain-strain interactions, and significant inter-individual variations that can exceed 70% in taxonomic composition even among healthy individuals.

The central challenge lies in developing computational frameworks that can reliably predict how introduced probiotic strains will interact with the existing microbiome ecosystem while accounting for dietary factors and host physiology.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including latent space embedding techniques for microbiome-metabolome interactions, machine learning models that predict bacterial community performance, metabolic simulations that forecast probiotic efficacy, and systems for translating multi-omic data into actionable recommendations. These and other approaches enable the development of truly personalized probiotics that respond to an individual's unique microbial signature rather than relying on one-size-fits-all formulations.

1. Microbiome Analysis Method Utilizing Latent Space Embedding of Microbiome-Metabolome Interactions for Host Property Prediction

BAR-ILAN UNIVERSITY, 2025

Predicting host organism properties using microbiome composition data and metabolome interactions. The method involves analyzing a host's microbiome to obtain frequency values of different taxa. It preprocesses the microbiome by grouping and normalizing taxa based on classification. An FCNN embeds the preprocessed microbiome into a latent space representing microbiome-metabolome interactions. This latent space is used to predict host properties, like metabolite concentrations, by approximating the microbiome-metabolite relationship. This leverages the complex, non-linear microbiome-metabolome interactions using the latent representation.
