Hello Everyone,
My name is Marcel de Leeuw, and I am a bioinformatics scientist at MRM Health, a clinical-stage microbiome therapeutics company based in Belgium. With a background in genomics and over 25 years of industry experience, I have spent the last 15 years focusing on the microbiome and bacterial genomics.
At MRM Health, we develop defined bacterial consortia from bacteria isolated from healthy donors. Currently, we are running a discovery program in PD. Our advanced bioinformatics tools enable us to analyze the microbiome with high precision using whole metagenome shotgun data, which aligns with our interest in the PDMB sub-study. We have been working with PD microbiomes for three years and are expanding our research through an observational study of the small intestinal microbiome in PD (NCT06003608).
I look forward to discussing these topics with you!
Best regards,
Marcel de Leeuw
