Summary
Rebecca Stevick is a Principal Scientist with nine years of experience applying microbial ecology and bioinformatics to host-associated systems, currently advancing live biotherapeutic product development at mbiomics in Munich. Her research at Institut Pasteur used gnotobiotic zebrafish to elucidate colonization resistance mechanisms, combining (meta)genomics, transcriptomics, and clasi-FISH to map single-cell bacterial localization in vivo. She brings rare cross-disciplinary fluency—wet lab microbiology, disease pathology, reproducible computational workflows, and CMC/bioprocess coordination—to bridge discovery and manufacturing for complex anaerobic consortia. At mbiomics she has led establishment of BSL-II labs, cell banking, regulatory interactions, and multi-site assay scale-up, demonstrating hands-on operational leadership in a startup setting. Rebecca’s background spans marine microbiome PhD work on oysters to space-biology projects at NASA, reflecting a curiosity for how environment shapes host–microbe interactions across scales. Colleagues rely on her to translate mechanistic ecology into practical probiotic and biotherapeutic strategies that are assayable, scalable, and regulatory-ready.
