Project description
Cutting-edge omics tool for personalised microbiome analysis
Microbiome analysis can provide diagnosis and prognosis for various diseases, including cancer, Crohn’s disease, metabolic disorders, reproductive health and skin pathologies, infections, as well as autoimmune, respiratory and mental diseases. However, the high cost and the complexity of microbiome data analysis prevents its broader adoption in personalised medicine and diagnostics. Spanish Sequentia Biotech SL has developed a cutting-edge omics tool to detect, quantify and evaluate the biological composition of any type of human microbiome sample (gut, skin, mouth, biofluids). During the EU-funded GAIA-Health project, a feasibility study will be conducted for this multi-diagnostic system that promises customised microbiome analysis with superior precision and detection power for fast and effective personalised therapies.
Objective
GAIA-Health: microbiome suite for personalized medicine
Genomic revolution is transforming our approach to treat patients by individualizing treatments that reduce adverse events and in turn decrease health care costs. Microbiome analysis can in fact be used for diagnosis and potentially prognosis of various diseases such as cancer, Crohn’s disease, metabolic disorders, reproductive health and skin pathologies and infections, as well as autoimmune, respiratory and mental diseases. Due to its broad adoption in a variety of medical and biotech domains, the global human microbiome market is witnessing an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18,5%.
However, the the cost and the complexity of microbiome data analysis and management represents the main bottleneck in this market, preventing a broader adoption of personalized medicine and diagnostic, as well as the discovery of new therapeutic targets where there is a lack of treatments for specific diseases.
Our product - GAIA Health - bridges the gap between data production and interpretation in the health, diagnostic and biotech sector. Gaia-Health is a cutting edge omics tool that is able to detect, quantify and evaluate the biological composition of any type of sample of human microbiome (gut, skin, mouth and biofluid). GAIA Health offers unique insights into human health. It is the solution for every customer who needs customized microbiome analysis with superior precision and detection power, for faster, easier and effective personalized medicine, treatments and therapies. GAIA-Health stands apart from its competitors because of its superior precision and detection power; a Multi-diagnosis system - for this first type Gut, Skin, Mouth and Reproductive Health Analysis in one suite; and its Immediately actionable results, allowing faster and more reliable decision making .
