Description (French)
Le microbiome humain s’étend au-delà de l’intestin, les écosystèmes microbiens vaginaux et buccaux jouant un rôle essentiel dans la santé systémique et reproductive. Nucliq Biologics, grâce à sa plateforme phare Gutcheck, est pionnière dans l’analyse précise du microbiome. S’appuyant sur le succès de Gutcheck et afin de répondre à la demande croissante de tests intégrés et multisites pouvant fournir aux individus et aux cliniciens une vision plus holistique de la santé, ce projet se concentre sur le développement et la validation d’un module de test du microbiome vaginal, première étape vers un profilage microbiologique intégré et multisite. En intégrant des analyses basées sur l’IA, il jettera les bases d’une vision holistique de la santé et d’innovations thérapeutiques futures basées sur le microbiome.
