MISSION
Born from the extensive experience in the microbiome field and the solid scientific background of the founding team, PreBiomics integrate state-of-the-art metagenomics technologies and artificial intelligence in a diagnostic test to enable the analysis of the oral microbiome at an unprecedent resolution level, paving the way to new potential clinical scenarios for highly personalized treatment and prevention of oral diseases.
METAGENOMICS
We use a validated sampling protocol and state-of-the-art NGS technologies to characterize the plaque microbiome at the highest resolution level.
COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES
Our metagenomic computational pipeline identifies relevant genomics features linked to healthy and diseased states.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Our predictive algorithm calculates the risk of oral diseases development and help to identify the best personalized clinical approach.
