Full Time

mBIOTA Labs is a clinically backed, women-owned and led medical nutrition company on a mission to transform how people think about - and treat - digestive health.

Our products sit at the intersection of healthcare, science, and consumer experience. We build therapeutic, nutrition-based solutions that are rooted in clinical research, shaped by patient needs, and designed to fit into real lives. Digestive health affects millions of people every day, and the work we do has a meaningful impact on quality of life for our customers and patients.
