TEAM
VITAM.BIO

A motion partner building brand-led identities, systems, and applications.

THE ENGINE
SCIENTIFIC
OF VITAM.BIO

The VITAM.BIO Team studies how the microbiota affects health, brain and immune system.
Led by Prof. Paolo Fabene, we integrate histology, neuroscience and immunology with imaging methods and molecular analysis.
We investigate the gut-brain axis, the effects of diet and drugs, and the mechanisms of inflammation.

We work with bioinformatics tools and omics data to build reliable predictive models.
From the laboratory to the clinic, we identify biomarkers useful for prevention, early diagnosis, and targeted therapies.
We maintain rigorous standards of quality, ethics, and reproducibility; we constantly update protocols.
We turn complex results into clear directions for professionals and citizens.

Prof. Paul Fabene defines lines of research and promotes a culture of verifiable data.

We collaborate with other units in the University and external partners on translational projects.
Goal: To make microbiota science a practical aid to wellness.
