Brightseed Receives $1.6 Million Grant to Improve Birth Outcomes

The bioactives company will build upon a proof-of-concept program with grant funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Released By Brightseed

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bioactives company Brightseed today announces its second grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Brightseed will use the $1.6 million funding to focus its artificial intelligence (AI) technology, Forager®, on identifying and validating natural bioactive compounds that target environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) in undernourished pregnant and lactating women, ultimately impacting global birth and infant outcomes.
 
EED is a poorly understood condition caused in part by micronutrient deficiencies, undernutrition, certain gut infections, and abnormal gut microbiota.
