21 Jan 2019 --- Bio-Me, a start-up specializing in rapid gut microbiome analysis, has entered into an agreement with an unnamed “top” consumer healthcare company associated with the large-scale Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT). The HUNT 4 study is governed by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and is reportedly one of the most extensive health studies ever performed. The partnership will see Bio-Me using its Precision Microbiome Profiling (PMP) platform and the HUNT BioBank to identify gut microbiome biomarkers for specific health conditions.
