What We Do
At Nucleus Biotech, we provide enabling reagents and services that power life science research in both academia and industry. As a specialized distributor and scientific partner, we bring together a comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge tools – from CRISPR genome editing and NGS library preparation to custom gene synthesis and immunogenomics solutions. Whether you’re optimizing routine lab workflows or tackling complex challenges like target discovery screens, liquid biopsy analyses, or high-throughput functional genomics projects, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our team doesn’t just deliver products—we provide expert guidance, helping you select the right tools, troubleshoot experimental setups, and navigate even the most demanding applications with confidence.
Our Team
We’re a small customer-centric team, and that’s by choice. At Nucleus Biotech, you won’t navigate through layers of sales reps or support tickets. Instead, you work directly with people who know the science, understand the products, and have spent years in the field. We stay lean so we can stay close – to new technologies, to our customers, and to what actually works in the lab.

Dr. Michael Ehret
Managing Director & Scientific Consultant
Michael has been in the biotech industry since 1986, working his way through Stratagene, Clontech and founding the BioCat GmbH in 2000 – a successful life science distributor he built and sold in 2017. But after nearly 20 years running BioCat, he realized he missed the direct customer contact and closeness to cutting-edge technologies. That’s why he founded Nucleus Biotech in 2020: to get back to what he loves – working hands-on with customers on challenging projects, advising on CRISPR screens, NGS workflows, liquid biopsy setups, and custom gene synthesis, and helping labs figure out which products actually fit their needs. When he’s not scouting for the next innovative technology, Michael is passionate about basketball and his cats and enjoys cultivating local and exotic plants in his garden – including banana trees that, despite his best efforts, haven’t produced edible fruit yet.

Dr. Elke Gamer
Product Manager
Elke studied at the University of Heidelberg and completed her PhD in Molecular Biology, followed by a postdoctoral position at the Institute of Human Genetics. During her PhD and postdoctoral work, she gained comprehensive knowledge across diverse life science disciplines. From there she made the moved from research into the life science supplier sector, motivated to work closely with researchers and staying up to date with the latest methods and innovations in life sciences. Due to her scientific background and the experience gained in customer support and product management roles at Stratagene, Hybaid, and BioCat, she is highly knowledgeable and has developed excellent skills. Elke is your competent partner, supporting you with Nucleus Biotech’s products and services to help facilitate your research. When she’s not helping customers navigate their next experiment, Elke loves dancing, hiking, and long walks with her dog.
Partners & Technology Sources
We partner with companies developing the technologies we believe in—the ones solving challenges in functional genomics, target discovery and biomarker screening. Our job is to bring these advanced methods to labs across Europe and make sure you have our support and assistance to use them successfully.

Based in Heidelberg, Serving Europe
Being based in Heidelberg puts us at the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant life science ecosystems. We’re located in the Business Development Center, part of the Heidelberg Innovation Park, surrounded by young start-ups and innovative companies. This environment gives us direct access to cutting-edge developments like BioLiqX Small RNA-Seq for liquid biopsy analysis and RBP targetome sequencing, developed by our local partner Heidelberg Biolabs. Being embedded in this research-intensive community means we’re constantly connected to what’s happening in the field and can bring the most advanced methods to our customers quickly.
Our approach is guided by a few core principles: First, we believe in honest, direct consultation we’ll tell you upfront which kit, reagent or setup is the right fit for your experimental goals. Second, we’re committed to close, ongoing support. We don’t just ship products; we stay engaged before, during, and after delivery, and are actively interested in how you’re deploying our tools and how your results turn out. Finally, we value scientific rigor and quality in everything we offer – our portfolio is strictly confined to high performance products and services providing solutions and reliable results.
