Microbiome Research Services
From clinical study design to validated results. We work with researchers, startups and established companies to deliver microbiome insights, whether you need a full study managed or precision measurement for your own research.
We run the study. You get the results.
Why REM?
Microbiome expertise
We work at the intersection of biology and measurement, helping you build assays that answer the right question
Precision technology
ATGC distinguishes closely related organisms at single-nucleotide resolution, going beyond what conventional sequencing can achieve
Regulatory awareness
Quality-controlled validation protocols suitable for CE marking, clinical implementation and commercial product development
Flexible collaboration models
From exploratory projects to long-term development partnerships, we adapt to your timeline and internal capabilities.
Proven track record
Developed CE-marked commercial assays and supported multiple European research consortia including Horizon Europe projects
How We Work With You
Three collaboration models, depending on project scope and existing capabilities.
Full study
Clinical Study Services
A product ready for clinical validation. Evidence needed for regulatory submission, marketing claims or peer-reviewed publication. One team manages the entire study and delivers results with complete data ownership.

the process
applies to
A product awaiting validation, without internal clinical operations.
A study required in a geography without local presence.
Microbiome endpoints needed, without measurement infrastructure.
Regulatory-grade evidence required for EFSA, ANVISA or similar.
analysis only
Research Collaboration
Research already underway. Microbiome data required but measurement capability not sufficient. A scientific collaborator integrates with the existing team, contributing with expertise, not just processing samples.

applies to
An ongoing trial that would benefit from microbiome endpoints.
Clinical infrastructure in place, without microbiome capability.
A Horizon Europe or nationally funded consortium seeking a specialist.
Preference for long-term scientific collaboration.
assay development
Custom Assay Development
A measurement need that existing panels cannot address. A proprietary strain to track, a pathogen variant to distinguish, a microbial signature to quantify. Precision tools developed for the specific question.

applies to
A detection need that commercial panels do not cover.
A diagnostic product requiring a validated underlying assay.
A proprietary strain to track through complex matrices.
A requirement for defensible and publication-ready validation.
Application Areas
Targeted microbiome measurement for product development, research and clinical use cases.
Microbiome Product Development
Probiotic validation
Track strain engraftment, quantify effects, demonstrate durability across cohorts and conditions
Prebiotic optimization
Measure how individual bacterial species respond to candidate prebiotic formulations
Personalized nutrition
Generate quantitative microbiome readouts that support evidence-based recommendations
Food & Agriculture
Soil & plant microbiome
Validate bioinoculant products, optimize field interventions and track targeted microbial populations
Product authentication
Verify origins, detect adulteration using targeted microbial signatures
Quality control
Monitor microbial composition to support consistent manufacturing and compliance
Clinical & Diagnostic Applications
Pathogen detection
Distinguish pathogenic from commensal variants of closely related species
AMR monitoring
Detect and quantify antimicrobial resistance variants for surveillance programs and research studies
Disease profiling
