We Put Our Stake In The Ground
To Close the Gap
To End Chronic Disease.

Registered 501(c)(3) National Public Health Nonprofit

Patients are central to everything we do.  The Microbiome Alliance for Disease Prevention (MADP Alliance for Disease Prevention) was founded by senior leaders in precision medicine, healthcare, and the life sciences who recognized an urgent need:  to close the gap between clinical advancements and patient access.

 

Drawing upon expertise shaped through national efforts – including the White House Precision Medicine Initiative, the Human Genome Project, and the National Microbiome Initiative (NMI) – MADP was established as an independent nonprofit to ensure that the benefits of medical advancements reach all communities.

 

MADP operates as a collaborative alliance working with leading clinicians, institutions, and academic researchers. Our mission is not to duplicate existing systems, but to strengthen them – saving lives, accelerating innovation – and bringing hope to patients and families.

 

The rapid pace of discovery underscores the essential role of precision medicine and prevention in shaping long-term health. By enabling smarter screening and smarter testing, we open the door to earlier detection, more effective prevention, and ultimately, improved patient outcomes.

 

Among the new frontiers in precision medicine is the microbiome – a cornerstone of health.  It has a role in regulating immunity, influencing chronic disease risk, affecting cancer progression, and even how medications are absorbed. Researchers from leading institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, Stanford, and Memorial Sloan Kettering continue to deepen our understanding of this vital system.

 

These advances are redefining the future of healthcare – yet it takes approximately fifteen years for such breakthroughs to reach everyday patient care. When battling cancer, heart disease, or Alzheimer’s – patients don’t have fifteen years to wait.

 

MADP is closing that gap. We translate breakthroughs into hope by connecting individuals with the knowledge and supportive resources – so that every community benefits from the promise of precision healthcare.

 

We are strategic, intentional, and we push boundaries leading the path forward – today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. 

Our pledge to you.
