#FOODBIOMES at the Bio3-2024 forum, organised by #BioInnovation Greece at Technopolis Gazi, Athens, on September 1-5, 2024 Representing FOODBIOMES, Ioanna Prapa, alongside George Paraskevakos and Méryl Massot from Zoefarma, gave a talk on "Probiotic Biobanks and the Case for Disease Prevention" in the 8th session of the conference, titled "Developing Biobanks to Understand Human Diseases. The presentation was focused on the findings of a study on novel strains isolated from olive samples collected in Monemvasia, Peloponnese, Greece, that was conducted at the FOODBIOMES facilities. After identification at species level, the new strains were evaluated for their potential health-promoting properties through a series of in vitro assays. The future steps and industrial perspectives were further analyzed and discussed, with an emphasis on the significance of discovering novel probiotic strains with specific activities for the food and pharmaceutical industry. Stay tuned for updates on FOODBIOMES' work and projects. #2024bio3 #BioInnovationGreece #FOODBIOMES #Bio3 #probiotics
