BIOMIS

Year: 2020

Biomis envisages the creation of the first Italian biobank of intestinal, salivary and vaginal microbiota from patients and healthy volunteers. This will allow, on the one hand, excellent research activities to be carried out through meta-omic approaches, in vitro and in vivo studies that will open up new frontiers for experimentation in the field of the close correlation between microbiota and pathologies. From a therapeutic point of view, the existence of a biobank will be indispensable for faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).

The creation of the first Italian microbiota biobank envisaged in this project is of strategic importance, also in terms of international prestige and of employment and development spin-offs in the territories involved.
