If you've ever been in the loo doing a number two and wished someone would pay you for your poo, here's your chance to take part in the 1000MYMicrobiome research study.
If you’re keen on participating in this research study, not only will you help improve the understanding of Malaysians’ health gut microbiota and in turn allow for better management of gut-related diseases in the country, but you’ll also be able to receive a RM50 payout for your participation. You’ll also get a gut health report from the researchers that can hopefully let you know more about yourself.
Those of you who end up helping the researchers will be asked to provide a stool specimen, a urine specimen, a saliva specimen if you live within 10km of the Monash Malaysia campus as well as information on your diet and your lifestyle. It should be pointed out though that it’s crucial for participants to answer the questionnaire as accurately as possible and to inform the researchers if you’re on any medication or already have gastrointestinal conditions such as constipation or diarrhoea.
The research is being funded by the AMILI Pte Ltd, Southeast Asia’s first precision gut microbiome company around and is being carried out in collaboration with Monash Malaysia. According to the researchers, the sequence data of participants’ samples will be put into public domain and in the AMILI and Monash microbiome database, but have no fear all personal information obtained in the study will be kept and handled in a confidential manner.
