Millions in funding for the new MikrobiomProCheck research project

The human gut microbiome is as unique as a fingerprint. It plays a central role in chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Yet its potential for diagnostics and personalized therapy for patients remains untapped. The MikrobiomProCheck research project aims to change this. To this end, the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS), the Universities of Bonn, Bielefeld, and Duisburg-Essen, Biofidus AG, and Lead Discovery Center GmbH are receiving approximately 3.4 million euros from the state government of NRW and the European Union.
