A global leader in bioinformatics and computer science, with a Phd in Machine Learning and over 30 years’ industry experience, specialising in microbiome sequencing. Stephen has exceptional ties with pioneering leaders globally in the AI, animal and healthcare industries, but when he’s not teaching machines how to behave, or out on the AI speaker circuit, you’ll find him at home composing music in his recording studio.

A seasoned entrepreneur and a true health and gut enthusiast who has navigated a significant personal health journey. A serendipitous encounter with James sparked a shared vision, culminating in the birth of BIOME9. With a background as a trained chef, Asher's kitchen often becomes a fermentation lab, brewing all sorts of intriguing concoctions...

James is driven by a genuine love for his dogs and a thirst for knowledge. At BIOME9, he's channelled personal experiences with his own pets into creating better solutions for dog owners the world over. Outside the office, you will find him hooked up to his bioresonance machine or buried in the latest biohacking reads. He's all about blending tech with wellness, and believes strongly in using tech to make it personal (and better).

Chloe is an animal health and disease specialist and the principal architect, researcher and product leader for BIOME9’s InvisibleHealth® AI. She is not only a veterinary bioscientist, but also has an M.Sc. in Animal Science. Chloe has a horse, multiple dogs and actually enjoys driving seven hours across the country from her home to our lab each week.

Vicky is a specialist holistic vet who operates her own clinic, focusing on complementary medicine practices such as herbal supplementation, homeopathy, acupuncture, and guidance on natural feeding. She is committed to optimising the gut microbiomes of her patients, as well as those of her own pets—two dogs, two cats, and a flock of chickens. Outside the clinic, Vicky’s passion for wellness extends to growing as much of her own nutritionally rich food as possible and staying closely connected to nature and the sustenance it provides.

With over 10 years experience in animal health, Rachel initially aspired to be a vet but switched to study a B.Sc. in Zoo Biology because of her love of exotic animals. After years of hands-on experience with animals, she transitioned into pet insurance, managing intricate health claims for customers, before joining BIOME9. Outside work, she’s constantly working on small projects around her house, and enjoys time with her two rescue cats, Pia and Pandora, and chinchilla, Jellybean, dreaming one day of her larger menagerie.

Jemma has a solid sales background, having worked with one of the top pet food brands in the country. She recently joined BIOME9, where she's excited to dive deeper into canine gut health and help build relationships with others who share her passion. Personally, Jemma's also big on health and nutrition; she’s even trying her hand at making her own kefir and constantly looks for ways to boost her own gut health. Outside of work, she loves to play her euphonium and is a fair-weather wild swimmer.
