Microbes are everywhere. On your phone and laptops, on your mugs; literally, everywhere on top of you and inside of you. They are omnipresent, and there is nothing we can do about them. Millions of years ago, we made a pact to live together with the microbes as a holobiont!
Balance is an understatement. What science understands so far is that the microbiome profile plays an important role in building our immune system. Yet, we do not know the full details of why and how. That is why Nusantics strive to continuously research the interaction between the microbiome and its host in both dysbiosis and symbiosis states using the next-generation genomic tools.
At Nusantics, we build our tech capability by developing and validating molecular methods, actively collecting samples, performing in-house Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics analysis to deliver an easy-to-understand universal microbiome balance index.
If half of our body is the microbiome, should we kill them, or should we learn to live together with them? How is it possible that we find less hygienic people with better immunity? What if one day microbiome transplant becomes a common procedure? What does it mean for Indonesia as one of the countries with the highest microbial diversity?
