Jakob Krause Haaber

I am passionate about leading innovative teams that drive biotechnological solutions for the benefit of human lives. With a broad background in biology and proven leadership skills in biotech I thrive in finding solutions to problems in society that have a relevant business perspective while making a positive impact in the world.

Since 2017 I have been instrumental in building the research infrastructure and technological platforms of SNIPR Biome primarily through assembling and leading several innovative research teams in the growing organization...Read more

Lothar Steidler

Lothar Steidler invented and pioneered the concept of using live, GMO Lactococcus strains for therapeutic intervention through local delivery of bioactive proteins. Designed and engineered the GMO bacterial strain that was used in the first-ever human intervention study of its kind. Subsequently, developed a synthetic biology platform for Lactococcus, enabling high-throughput construction of clinical-grade strains. Led the development of manufacturing technologies, taking them from prototype to industry-standard processes. This work has supported...Read more

James Marsh

Dr. James Marsh leads a research group in the Department of Microbiome Science at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tübingen, Germany. As a specialist in microbiomes, human-associated pathogens, and molecular genetics, Dr. Marsh is dedicated to advancing our functional understanding of microbial communities. His team integrates high-throughput genomics, anaerobic culturing, synthetic biology, and bioinformatics to develop innovative genetic manipulation techniques for non-model microbes. This capability enables them to probe the underlying...Read more

Sahar El Aidy

I am Professor of Microbiome Engineering at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences at University of Amsterdam.

My research focuses on the interplay between the gut microbiome and host physiology, particularly in the context of microbial metabolism, gut-brain axis interactions, and gut motility.

Using advanced analytical chemistry, microbiology techniques, and ex vivo gut models, my team explores how gut microbes metabolize dietary compounds and drugs, influencing intestinal function and systemic...Read more
