Our Scientific Foundation
At Biomine Health, everything we do is grounded in science. Our tests are built on over a decade of microbiome research, clinical insight, and computational biology.
We don’t just interpret microbiome data — we use rigorous scientific methods to generate it, analyse it, and translate it into personalised, actionable insights. Each insight in your report is backed by peer-reviewed studies, validated methodologies, and real-world data from diverse populations.
This page is designed to help you dive deeper into the science — whether you're simply curious or a health professional looking for transparency.
Here, you’ll find:
-
The science behind the Biomine platform — how we turn your sample into meaningful data
-
Key scientific papers shaping our understanding of the microbiome and its impact on health
-
Supporting studies that directly inform your personalised Biomine report
Featured Papers
Shaping the Future of Probiotics and Prebiotics
A broad, visionary review of where the fields of probiotics and prebiotics are heading. It explores new microbial candidates, mechanisms of action, regulatory trends, and how precision nutrition is shaping next-gen products like synbiotics and postbiotics.
The Gut Microbiota–Brain Axis in Behaviour and Disorders
This review unpacks how gut bacteria influence brain development and function. It connects microbial activity to mood, cognition, and disorders like autism and depression, highlighting the gut–brain axis as a promising target for future therapies.
