Our services
Microgut
Revolutionizing Food Ingredients Testing
We provide in vitro analysis of food ingredients and their impact on metabolism, offering unparalleled insights into gut health and nutrition. Our platform, MicroGUT, developed in collaboration with the University of Luxembourg, replicates the human gastrointestinal tract, enabling precise testing of ingredients, food products, probiotics, and drugs.
With automated simulations, MicroGUT personalizes dietary interventions by adjusting food transit times, controlling key physico-chemical parameters (pH, O₂ concentration), and conducting longitudinal sampling—allowing for highly accurate and customizable results.
Gut-on-a-chip Technology

Bioinformatics
Turning data into actionable insights
At NIUM, we develop advanced bioinformatics pipelines to analyze microbiome data and apply metabolic modeling to assess the effects of ingredients, food products, and probiotics. Our expertise extends to both food companies and healthcare institutions, helping translate complex data into actionable insights.
We provide a comprehensive suite of bioinformatics solutions designed to support food and nutrition research, clinical trials, and microbiome analysis. Our advanced computational tools and proprietary pipelines allow us to turn complex biological data into actionable insights.
End-to-End Bioinformatics Pipelines
Our bioinformatics pipelines handle every step of microbiome data processing, from raw data to insightful results. We offer automated workflows for:
- Quality control and filtering
- Taxonomic profiling
- Functional analysis
- Differential abundance testing
Microbiome Metabolic Modelling
We apply advanced metabolic modelling to understand how different ingredients, probiotics, and food products influence microbial communities in the gut. By simulating metabolic pathways, we can predict the impact of dietary components on microbial activity, metabolite production, and overall gut health.
Ecological Modelling and Network Analyses
We explore interactions between microbial species within the gut using ecological modelling and network analysis. This helps us map microbial relationships, identify key species that impact gut health, and predict how dietary interventions may shift the microbiome. By understanding these dynamics, we can identify targeted strategies for improving microbiome health.
Clinical applications
