And if you can manipulate it to a good outcome in terms of disease, that’s excellent.” There’s just the small matter of finding the right poop, though. In addition to working as a gastroenterologist, Ong cofounded the startup Amili, which has collected more than 1,000 stool samples for transplants over the past three years.
