About
Tend is a student-led research observatory
We map how dietary patterns shape the gut microbiome and connect to long-term health outcomes. Our work is grounded in peer-reviewed literature, major scientific reviews, and expert consensus.
What we do
Tend curates evidence on diet, microbiome composition, and health outcomes. We build a living map of findings, highlight consensus areas, and surface open questions worth exploring next.
How we work
Each research brief is reviewed by students and mentors, checked against original sources, and updated as new evidence appears. We remain independent and non-commercial.
Our principles
We prioritize transparency, clarity, and evidence quality. We do not provide medical advice or clinical recommendations.
