Alba Health Joins Forces with Texas Medical Center
At Alba Health, we're passionate about advancing children's health, and we have exciting news to share! We've been selected, along with three other pioneering life science companies, for a prestigious accelerator program in the United States.
On May 13, we embarked on an incredible journey to Houston to join the Texas Medical Center Innovation Factory’s bespoke accelerator program. Over the next six months, we’ll gain invaluable insights and create actionable plans for when we are ready to bring our product to the US market.
This program is designed to support our US market expansion by forging strategic partnerships, encouraging clinical innovation, and fostering research collaborations within the dynamic TMC ecosystem. As the world’s largest medical complex, the Texas Medical Center is renowned for its unparalleled healthcare expertise and resources. This initiative is a collaboration between the BioInnovation Institute and Texas Medical Center.
"We couldn't be more excited to work with TMC, the largest medical complex in the world. In the past months, we've seen incredible interest in our product in the Nordics, with hundreds of families joining our study. TMC will help us understand how we can extend our impact to the US and help more and more families discover their children's gut microbiome, given its importance for lifelong health," says Eleonora Cavani, Founder and CEO at Alba Health.

Pioneering gut health innovations and clinical collaborations
During our visit, Eleonora met with Texas Children's Hospital, one of the largest children's hospitals in the United States, with nearly 4.9 million patient encounters. Their Microbiome Center is pioneering research focused on the care of women and children, with notable studies on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a painful gastrointestinal condition affecting as many as 1 in 10 people worldwide.
In the upcoming months, we will closely partner with Texas Medical Center Innovation to explore how Alba's technology can support doctors in clinical practice. The TMC team has curated a phenomenal program for us, connecting us with impressive experts in our field. We are eager to explore how Alba can make a meaningful impact in supporting doctors and patients in clinical practice! Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey.
