It’s a known fact that humans are not made entirely of human cells, as your cells are outnumbered by a multitude of microorganisms living inside you in a symbiotic state, the so-called microbiome. The microbiome is an interesting and complex data science problem, a single project can generate terabytes of data, requiring the expertise of data scientists and powerful computers for data processing and data analysis. Although complex, unlocking the potential of the microbiome for Health, biotechnology and Agritech can change the world forever for the better.
