Although I'd had visions of a futuristic laboratory straight out of a science fiction movie, SureSceen, located off a picturesque country lane in Derby, looked like a manor straight out of a Jane Austen novel, from the exterior at least.
The laboratory offers analysis into everything from endangered species to engineering, but I'm particularly interested in one area of the business - health and wellbeing.
Upon my arrival, I was welcomed into the gentile front parlour for a cup of tea with DNA forensic scientist Troy Whyte, who kickstarted the company's gut and nutritional health branch, neovos, after his wife became pregnant with their first child.
