Matt Hamilton

Matt Hamilton joined the Microbiota Research and Therapeutics team in 2009, after finishing his PhD in microbial ecology. As a post-doc, he developed protocols to separate and cryopreserve microbiota from stool. These protocols have been adapted and used throughout the world. Matt went on to develop additional protocols for freeze-drying and encapsulating the microbiota, as well as establishing current Good Manufacturing Practice standard operating procedures used by the production team. Matt currently serves as a program and research consultant.

In his spare time Matt enjoys outdoor pursuits including yard work, birling, and urban foraging.
