MRM Health is expanding its pipeline across other inflammatory diseases and immune-oncology, leveraging AI-guided discovery and deep expertise in microbiome ecosystem biology. In September 2025, MRM Health successfully closed a €55 million Series B round led by Biocodex, with strong support from ATHOS, BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity and existing investors SFPIM, AvH, OMX Europe VF, QBIC II and VIB.
