Our Mission

We are building the most sophisticated model of digestion to improve the development of nutrition products and provide the best nutrition support for individuals.

Our Vision

We empower every individual with diet-related diseases to enjoy a healthier and happier life.

Our journey so far

Alberto Noronha, Founder and CEO of NIUM, through his research at the University of Luxembourg identified that individual responses to food are difficult to predict and wanted to change this. Adam Selamnia joined his vision supporting the commercial development of the spin-off NIUM.

2019

Incorporation and 1st PoC

After a successful application for grant funding with the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), NIUM was incorporated with the goal of using metabolic modeling for food response prediction.

2019-2021

First validation of Computational models

Working with diverse companies in the food sector we have demonstrated the potential of our bioinformatics pipelines for microbiome data analyses. Acceleration programs: Fit4Start, EIT Food Accelerator Network/MassChallenge.

2022

microgut integration

We have integrated the microGUT instrument in our offer. After obtaining a Seal of Excellence with the European commission, we launched the first commercial projects using this technology.

2023

opening nium’s laboratory

We are currently in the process of opening our laboratory to grow the commercial activity of our in vitro platform. NIUM is also collaborating on multiple clinical trials focusing on the impact of nutrition on the gut-microbiome and health.
