    The role of food-derived microRNA in modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and microbiome in health and disease

About Us

Decoding Nutrition at the Molecular Level

XeMiBio is a multidisciplinary research initiative focused on the molecular interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) in health and disease. Based in the Evia region of Greece, we explore the role of food-derived microRNAs (xenomiRs) found in local products—such as Konservolia Rovion olives, Mavrokoudoura grapes, Kymi figs, and Sideritis Euboea tea—and their impact on disease modulation, especially cancer.

Nutritional MicroRNA Research

Studying the function of food-derived microRNAs (xenomiRs) in modulating gene expression, ECM remodeling, and cancer-related pathways.

Local Foods, Global Impact

Evaluating Evia’s PGI products to highlight their therapeutic and nutritional value, connecting traditional diets to cutting-edge biomedical research.

VISION

Linking Diet, Microbiome & Health

Evaluate products with protected geographical indication in Evia, Greece region. Products, like olives Konservolia Rovion, Mavrokoudoura grapes variety, Figs from Kymi and Sideritis Euboea tea variety will be tested.

Nutrition is one of the major factors that regulates malignancies progression, either directly by metabolites, ingredients, xenomiRs, etc or indirectly by affecting microbiome.

Investigation of the cross-talk of xenomiRs – microbiome – host organism ECM and offer added value to dietary habits, especially during cancer treatment periods.
