Customised studies on the interaction of ingredients, gut microbiota and the host
From start to finish, NIZO can design, support and coordinate the execution of your human intervention study on the impact of your ingredient on gut microbiota, including for example:
- Writing and obtaining approval for a clinical study protocol
- Coordination of faecal sampling from the volunteers (protocols, instruction manuals)
- Analysing the samples for microbiota composition and functionality
- Analysing the samples for other gut health markers
- Applying bioinformatics analysis to evaluate relevant changes
- Formulating a biological evaluation of these changes
- Providing tailored consultancy and guidance based on your study results
Actionable insight based on scientific and bioinformatics expertise
Depending on your question, NIZO can plan and complete a customised human study that meets your needs. We have strong expertise in clinical study execution, including faecal sampling, storage, handling and analysis.
We can use the same samples to look beyond changes in microbiota, into various properties of gut health such as immune or inflammation markers. And we can enrich this sample-based data with the questionnaire data on topics such as stool frequency and consistency.
Using our analytical expertise, including in bioinformatics, we then turn the masses of data generated, into actionable insight and guidance.
