TELL US MORE ABOUT BIO ARTE, WHAT MAKES THE COMPANY STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?

I started this company a year and a half ago, together with my partner Christian Duchow. Bio Arte merges two different worlds to create one holistic vision; mine, which concerns the microbiological and supplement production, while Christian focuses on the pharmaceutical side of things.

The idea behind the company is very simple, it’s based on the characterisation and clinical interpretation of the human provider. It is a collection of all the microorganisms living in us, and with us, and plays a crucial role in the balance of our health. The microbiota is a new meta organ and this influences a lot of factors in our health, from digestion to production of vitamins and the regulation of immunity.

WHAT LED YOU TO FOUND BIO ARTE IN 2020 ALONGSIDE PARTNER

CHRISTIAN DUCHOW?

I met Christian in Malta purely by chance, it’s a great place for making connections. We approached Malta Enterprise, who helped us to find an industrial space to set up our laboratories. We also got involved in some international research projects through the help of Malta Enterprise. For us research is a must, and obviously it’s a very expensive tool for a company to have - but we strongly believe that without investment in the research sector there will be no future.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER AT BIO ARTE - WHAT ADVANTAGES ARE THERE FOR DOCTORS AND PATIENTS?

We provide a full characterisation of the microbes residing in different parts of your body - particularly in the gut. Obviously to do only this is not enough, so we also link this to our database and control groups - and based on the different populations we can estimate the equilibrium. As soon as the equilibrium is interrupted, tipped towards a more inflammatory or weak environment - there will be severe consequences on your health.
