The microbiome research service company

The world of microbes is complex and multifaceted, as are the wishes and ideas of many customers.

In cooperation with the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, our qualified team of experts at MyMicrobiome GmbH conducts research on the human microbiome. Our R&D spin-off can specifically address your individual questions about the microbiome.

It also supports you with the Microbiome-friendly formulation of your products from scratch on.

Our scope of testing

We examine in vivo and in vitro products such as

• Drugs
• Pro-, pre- and postbiotics
• Cosmetics or single ingredients
• Textiles
• Detergents

with regard to their effect on the human microbiome. In addition to certification, we thus offer the possibility of making well-founded statements about the tolerability or efficacy of your products.

Individual microbiological testing

We draw on a wide range of methods, enabling us to meet almost any scientific challenge. Our spectrum of research work includes, among others:

Individual Growth Analysis

We offer customized experiments with microorganisms of the skin in co-culture or individually. The tests can be performed in liquid medium over a longer period of time or in direct contact on agar plates.

In vitro intestine studies

We are able to work with strictly anaerobic bacteria to test drugs and nutritional supplements for their influence on germs of the gut microbiome.

3D Skin model

By using 3D skin models, we can realistically investigate the interaction of cosmetic products and specific microorganisms of the skin microbiome. Thereby we can respond to individual customer requirements.

In vivo studies

We offer individual metagenomic analysis on human sample material such as the investigation of the microbiome of healthy and diseased skin on a patient.

In addition to the evaluated raw data, you will receive a detailed R&D report in scientific form upon request. We are proud to have worked on several national and international research projects.
