Welcome to C-GABA
Centre for Gut and Brain Axis
The Centre for Gut and Brain Axis (C-GABA) is a dedicated clinical and research programme focused on the complex relationship between the gut microbiome, immune regulation, and brain function.
About UsOur Multidisciplinary Care Model Treating the whole person, not just one organ
Human health is shaped by the continuous interaction between:- The Brain ( Neurological and Cognitive Function )
- The Gut ( Digestive Health and Microbiome Balance )
- The Pelvic Floor & Bowel Outlet ( Evacuation and functional Coordination )
At C-GABA, every patient undergoes a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation. Complex cases are discussed in regular multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, ensuring that treatment decisions—including whether FMT is suitable—are safe, appropriate, and evidence-driven

What is Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT)
Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a medical therapy designed to restore healthy gut microbial balance by introducing screened donor microbiota into the patient’s gastrointestinal tract.
At C-GABA, FMT is delivered through a structured clinical programme that includes:- Rigorous donor screening
- International guideline-aligned protocols
- Careful patient selection
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up
FMT is not a standalone cure. It is one therapeutic modality used as part of a broader, multidisciplinary treatment strategy.
