About Karl, The Founder
I founded the research operations of Elixa Ltd. in 2014 following a 3 year period of prototyping that I conducted after graduating from university. I graduated with a Masters in Engineering Science from Oxford University where my Masters' specialism was Biomedical Engineering and Process Engineering. I completed my final thesis on the effect of the rheological properties of electrospun nanofiber membranes on the determination of mesenchymal stem cell lineage. I mention this because it gave me a significant foundation of scientific ability, adds credibility to my product, and adds an extra datapoint for readers to evaluate the content I produce.
Nevertheless, I personally do not give too much weight to credentials as a heuristic to evaluate someone's product/service. Moreover, I am an advocate of prioritising reasoning and results. In other words: Does what they say make sense? Does their product/service work, according to their customers?
Based on the positive word-of-mouth effect my product has had - so far, so good!
The science of the microbiome is a rapidly growing area with much research being released in a relatively recent time period. The development of Elixa has not only involved microbiology; manufacturing technology has played a large part.
The core function of my company is to continuously improve Elixa. Think of it like this: When the latest research papers are released and experiments performed, you can expect to wait several years before there will be a commercial offering through which you can reap the benefits. As both the manufacturer of Elixa and a probiotic researcher, I have the ability to convert my findings into a product much faster. I also receive a wealth of feedback via email, from which I can base updates and improvements to the product at an unprecedented response time. The first iteration that I released was a commercial success and received extremely positive feedback, however there is much more to come from probiotic science and Elixa shall be at the forefront of that.
The future of improving health through microbiotic intervention is very bright indeed.
