Kendall Dabaghi

Founder

I'm a co-founder of Kingdom. Previously, I co-founded two consumer tech startups that were acquired by public companies (ArmorHub in 2014 and A Plus in 2016). Throughout my life I've dealt with a set of health issues related to my microbiome, and became a microbiome researcher in 2016 to develop deep expertise in the area. I deferred my PhD at MIT to co-found Kingdom in 2019, with the goal of harnessing natural microbes to address unmet health needs.

Founder

I'm a co-founder of Kingdom. I received my PhD from Columbia supported by Hertz and NSF fellowships, and published 8+ first author papers in the microbiome and genomics fields (Science, Nature Biotech, Nature Methods, and more). I also spent time at the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation working on childhood malnutrition, and co-founded a edtech company in college (STEAMtrax) that was acquired by a public company.
