Research & Development

Microomics is developing two projects subsidized by the Torres Quevedo Program, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020:

• MicroMiner: Implementation of Big Data technologies aimed at the analysis of the microbiome as a predictive tool in precision agriculture. PTQ 2019-010565
• Development of Agroomics: The comprehensive NGS platform for the functional diagnosis of microorganisms in plants and agricultural soils. PTQ 2018-010002

It is also developing a project attached to the NEOTEC Program, subsidized by CDTI, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020:

• Metagenomics 2.0: Absolute quantification, development of markers and Big Data technology in the analysis of the microbiome. EXP-00123590 / SNEO-20191101

Microomics actively seeks agreements with R&D departments of companies with common interests or with academic or hospital research groups. The scientific publications in which Microomics has collaborated are the following:

• Gut microbiota in adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome: Effects of randomized treatments https://doi.org/10.1111/ijpo.12734
• Vaginal Microbiota Is Stable throughout the Estrous Cycle in Arabian Seas https://doi.org/10.3390/ani10112020
• Dental black plaque: metagenomic characterization and comparative analysis with white-plaque https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-72460-2
• Vaginal Microbiota Changes During Estrous Cycle in Dairy Heifers https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2020.00371

Count with our support and experience for National and European projects and consortiums throughout the stages of project preparation and application as well as during its development and execution.

Investment in Research and Development (R&D) constitutes the strong core of our medium-term vision. Thanks to the scientific and research background of our team and the exceptional environment provided by IR Sant Pau, we are in an optimal position not only when it comes to incorporating the latest developments and scientific advances into our range of services, but also when developing innovative products.

We develop platforms for data mining and biomarker analysis in sectors as diverse as Human Health, Animal Health and Agriculture, focused on preventive medicine, improvement of animal nutrition (development of nutritional additives and their understanding) and development of sustainable farming strategies (biological control agents, biofertilizers).

We continue betting on national and European strategic lines as well as the consolidation of alliances with public-private partners. If you are interested in participating as a partner in the evolution or commercial output of any of these developments or to learn more about them, do not hesitate to contact us.
