Microbiome Alliance for Disease Prevention (MADP) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) national public health nonprofit dedicated to advancing the early detection and prevention of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs). By expanding access to precision medicine, MADP works in partnership with providers and health systems to strengthen prevention efforts and reduce barriers to precision care.
Through education, outreach, and advocacy, MADP ensures patients and communities have access to earlier detection, smarter screening, targeted prevention, and better long-term health outcomes.
For patients, navigating the complex clinical field can be overwhelming. Understanding preventive steps is crucial for informed decisions and active participation in one’s own medical care. Knowing what drives disease – and acting early – can save lives.
We are unwavering in our commitment to patients, providers, and communities, delivering education and critical supportive resources from guiding smarter preventive screening tests at annual exams to navigating the complex world of tumor biomarkers in cancer care. MADP ensures everyone benefits from the promise of precision healthcare.
The advancements of science have allowed us to discover the life-saving components of precision medicine – opening doors to realign the way we look at health, how we treat patients, and how we combat disease.
Precision Medicine is a fundamental part of preventive healthcare – enabling early detection and targeted interventions. It takes into account individual differences in patients’ genes, nutrition, environment, lifestyle, and the microbiome.
At MADP, we are committed to ending the devastating impact of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) — stopping cancer and cardiovascular disease in their tracks. We translate the life-saving components of precision medicine into practical public health strategies ~ MADP Precision Public Health.
Our mission is to ensure that the benefits of precision medicine reach every individual and every community — regardless of geographic location or zip code.
MADP operates as a COLLABORATIVE ALLIANCE partnering with top medical institutions, clinicians, and researchers from across the country. TOGETHER we break down barriers to bring hope – today, tomorrow, and generations to come.
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the U.S. and worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge. It is likely that you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or dementia. The majority of chronic diseases progress slowly over multiple years before physical symptoms arise.
Atherosclerosis, for instance, is a gradual process that starts decades prior to developing into heart disease. It can begin as early as the teenage years, progressing slowly through 20’s and 30’s. It is often silent until there is significant artery narrowing or cardiac event later in life.
Various factors including diet, lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition, and underlying medical conditions, influence the rate at which atherosclerosis develops – underscoring the importance of preventive measures and early detection.
Chronic inflammation is often called a “silent driver” of many serious health conditions. It develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms. Unlike acute inflammation – such as redness or swelling that happens with an injury – chronic inflammation can quietly persist in the body for years without being detected.
Over time, this hidden inflammation can damage tissues and organs, playing a central role in the development of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Addressing chronic inflammation is a critical part of preventing and managing long-term health conditions.
When battling cancer, every minute matters. MADP is dedicated to supporting cancer patients throughout their journey. We provide comprehensive resources to help patients navigate the complex world of cancer, offering a hopeful approach to understanding the disease and accessing essential care.
MADP collaborates with leading cancer researchers, oncologists, and precision medicine experts to deliver the latest advancements in cancer detection, tumor biomarker testing, and targeted treatments.
We are deeply grateful for their knowledge, expertise, personal cancer survivorship, and commitment to assisting others through MADP’s public health non-profit. Their efforts help us break down barriers and provide critical supportive resources.
MADP Circle of Hope supports individuals recently diagnosed, those undergoing treatment, and cancer survivors. MADP Circle of Hope is here for you Together Fighting Cancer – Every Step of the Way.
