Call me Nora.

I started Alba Health with one radical thought: I believe it's possible to set up every human for optimal health and completely eradicate their risk for chronic diseases.
New break-throughs in microbiome science and metagenomics are the key enablers to this vision.

My co-founder Prod. Willem de Vos (800 publications in microbiome science) discovered that the gut microbiome in childhood predicts health later in life, including allergy risk.

At Alba Health, we have collected the most granular longitudinal dataset on the gut microbiome in the world - linking it to hundreds of health concerns and lifestyle.

We raised one of the largest pre-seed rounds in Europe in 2023 ($2.8m), backed by VCs and the Founder of Oura ($5b valuation).
