Unlocking the full potential of the gut microbiome
MRM Health's proprietary CORAL® platform allows to harness the full power of the gut microbiome to develop effective and safe therapeutics by combining rationally selected strains into Optimized Consortia through a proprietary optimization process and a unique manufacturing strategy as single Drug Substance
MRM Health in brief
Clinical-stage biotech (Belgium, 2020) developing therapeutics based on optimized consortia of live bacteria.
Disruptive CORAL® technology for consortia design, optimization and manufacturing, overcoming key hurdles in field.
Best-in-class therapeutics for inflammatory, CNS and metabolic diseases, with excellent safety and disease-modifying potential.
Clinical program in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD), with trial in Ulcerative Colitis completed and ongoing in Pouchitis (Orphan indication).
Preclinical programs in CNS (Parkinson’s Disease, Metabolic diseases (Type 2 Diabetes and NAFLD/NASH) and auto-immune diseases (Spondyloarthritis).
Based on two decades of experience in microbiome R&D
MRM Health is based in a Center of Expertise for microbiome research and development in the biotech cluster in Ghent and has a strategic partnership with the the leading life sciences institute VIB, with top research groups in both microbiome analysis and ecology and in host biology and disease research.
Corporate VideoCORAL® platform
Through its differentiating technology platform, MRM Health develops Optimized Consortia, a novel class of microbial therapeutics which surpass the current microbiome approaches. Using a bioinformatics-guided in-human discovery engine, key therapeutic strains are identified and integrated into Optimized Consortia through its proprietary Microbiome Optimization Technology. The Company’s breakthrough GMP-compliant manufacturing technology allows to manufacture complete therapeutic consortia as a single Drug Substance.
With its impressive consortia optimization and manufacturing technology, MRM Health disrupts exactly there where others stumble.
