The MicrobeProof Foundation
The MicrobeProof Foundation is a non-profit organization that sponsors testing and research into disinfection and prevention. Care homes and Surgical Centers have a high risk of infection especially among patients and residents whose immunity has been lowered due to disease or body breakdown.
Our partners include the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at U.C.L.A., Orthopedic Hospital Research Center, David Geffen School of Medicine, Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology, Division of Advanced Prosthodontics, U.C.L.A School of Dentistry, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Neurology and Dermatology at Duke University.
Our goal is to develop the science in preventing infection among the most vulnerable first and providing education and resources in our fight against pathogens.

We Believe…
We believe in the future
the future of our world, our shared humanity, our friends and families and children.
We believe in one another
- our talents, our skills, our creativity, the things that motivate us, and our diverse backgrounds and cultures, because we we believe that together we can find the way.
We believe in action
We are all faced with challenges that are as large as pandemics and as small as microbes. We believe we can create, engineer, and manufacture products that will protect against pathogens – but we also believe that this will be an ongoing battle that we must fight and win for every generation.
