Gigabiome

what we do

Profile

Using our state-of-the-art bioinformatics software we profile antimicrobial resistance from microbiome samples on a large scale to build genomic resources

Prescribe

Using artificial intelligence we build tools and devices that assist clinicians to accurately identify resistance to prescribe the correct antimicrobial at the right time

Target

Using the tools of systems and synthetic biology we design small molecules to target specific microbes and stop the spread of resistance within a patient

Platforms

Quantification pipeline

State-of-the-art bioinformatics pipelines that quantify antimicrobial resistance from stool or saliva samples that is used to characterise resistance on a personalised level

atlases of microbiome

Pan-metagenomics resources with quantification of resistance genes across several diseases and countries from gut and oral microbiome data
