About Axcella

Our Purpose

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering a new approach to treat complex diseases and improve health using endogenous metabolic modulator (EMM) compositions. EMMs fundamentally impact and regulate metabolism, controlling many of the biological functions that are integral to health and disease. At Axcella, we are seeking to unlock the full potential of EMMs by combining a deep understanding of biological pathways with recent advances in systems biology and machine learning. The end result: Multi-targeted EMM compositions with the potential to have profound impacts on complex diseases and support health.
