Microbiologist Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich joins Nahibu

Nahibu’s scientific committee includes Stanislav Dusko Ehrich, Director of Research Emeritus at INRA.

Professor Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich

Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich is the first scientist to propose the complete sequencing of the microbiota, leading the international MetaHIT consortium.

The partnership between Nahibu and the Emeritus Research Director aims to advance the science of the gut microbiota.

It’s very exciting to join Nahibu, which I believe offers the best in gut microbiota analysis. Together, we will be able to combine our strengths to advance the science of gut microbiota and bring its benefits to as many people as possible, said Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich. Nahibu uses high-definition sequencing, which is the most accurate method available today, as well as cutting-edge tools, and I will be able to contribute my vision and scientific advice to this promising company.

An organic chemistry engineer from the University of Zagreb, where he graduated at the top of his class, and a Doctor of Science in Biochemistry from Paris VII University, Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich founded and directed the Microbial Genetics Unit and the Microbiology Division at INRA and coordinated the European Commission’s first major project on the microbiome, MetaHIT, which laid the foundations for the current characterization of the microbiome. At the same time, he co-founded the first start-up in the field of human microbiome, Enterome, in 2012.

He was also an associate of Professor Joshua Lederberg, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich is a member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the French Academy of Agriculture, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the American Academy of Microbiology, and the European Academy of Microbiology.
