Dr. Kristin Neumann
“I was always curious about how life works in its tiny details and ended up spending a lot of time in the lab, working with these bacteria and getting a PhD in Microbiology. I always had the idealistic idea of working on something that changes peoples live for the better. So I was really excited when I joined a team that was developing a solution against the pandemic of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Working along with the Microbiome topic, I couldn’t resist to dive deeper into this matter because I was concerned about the lack of knowledge that surrounded me. This is why I founded MyMicrobiome and created an education platform together with my partner Tanja. When taking a closer look at the microbiome and it’s function, everything makes so much sense, although we still know so little about it! The close synergy between me and my bacteria is so amazing!”

“Until I met Kristin, I knew nothing about bacteria, viruses, fungi and co. Kristin taught me about the exciting world of the human microbiome and together we founded the microbiome education platform MyMicrobiome.info to inspire even the non-scientist about this big topic. I have suffered from atopic dermatitis since childhood. I was also not spared from numerous allergies. This makes life quite difficult from time to time. Since I've been studying the microbiome, I've learned many new things that I can use to restore my balance. It's a long process, but I think it will be worth it! And I want to teach this to my world as well, so that we no longer think of our little roommates as enemies, but as friends who are essential to our health.”
