About
Dr. Strandwitz is a microbiome scientist turned entrepreneur. He was supported by one of the first grants in the Human Microbiome Project, and received his PhD in Biology in 2016 at Northeastern University in Dr. Kim Lewis' laboratory. His graduate work was focused on cultivating the "uncultured" members of the human microbiome, resulting in publications in top journals like Nature Microbiology and Microbiome. He is now CEO at Holobiome, a platform biotech company that’s mapping how our microbes impact our biology and developing solutions from that knowledge in the form of drugs and consumer products. He's brought in over $20M in capital to Holobiome, through non-dilutive grants, corporate partnerships, and venture capital. He’s also a Termeer Fellow, a mentorship network started by the founding CEO of Genzyme, Henri Termeer.
