About

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.

Our mission is to uncover how traditional, geographically protected foods influence the body at a cellular level, both directly through bioactive compounds and indirectly through microbiome dynamics. By investigating the xenomiR–microbiome–ECM axis, we aim to enhance dietary strategies that support health, improve treatment outcomes, and preserve cultural heritage through science.
