History
The inception of Parallel Health aimed at producing phage-driven products specifically designed for unique skin microbiomes. Shortly after its formation, the company became part of the Illumina Accelerator program by Illumina, Inc. and secured $2.3 million in pre-seed capital, making its initial public appearance at TechCrunch Disrupt. In 2022, it earned a spot in the 'World Changing Ideas' Awards presented by Fast Company.
In 2024, Parallel Health released findings in The Dermatologist illustrating that combining skin microbiome analysis with phage therapy can successfully modify skin microbiomes to alleviate inflammation and decrease redness.
