Metabolon, Inc.

Global Metabolic Profiling

Metabolon is a diagnostics and services company offering the industry's leading biochemical profiling platform. Our patented platform provides a global analysis of complex biological samples for the discovery of markers and pathways associated with drug action and disease. This metabolomics-driven approach enables the identification of biomarkers useful for the development of a wide range of diagnostics and provides insight into complex biochemical processes such as drug action, toxicology and bioprocess optimization.

Metabolon, Inc. has built an IP estate comprised of trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and patents, including broad metabolomics method, data analysis and biomarker patents, and focused product patents that protect critical points along our value chain. Our patent portfolio stands out as the most substantial portfolio in the biochemical profiling (metabolomics) and small molecule diagnostics industries.
Metabolon, Inc. Patents and Patent Applications
Metabolon's patent portfolio is comprised of over 100 US and worldwide patents and patent applications, including pioneering patents in the field of metabolomics. Our data analysis and software patents cover critical aspects of our metabolomics platform, including collection and analysis of the massive amounts of data generated by metabolomics experiments and the identification of small molecules comprising complex mixtures. In addition, Metabolon has pending patents directed to small molecule biomarkers related to drug action, toxicity, carcinogens, aging and numerous diseases and disorders.
In 2007, Metabolon, Inc. acquired the metabolomics-related patent estate from Cogenics Icoria, a subsidiary of Clinical Data, Inc. The estate includes issued and pending patents related to data analysis and software as well as biomarkers of toxicity and carcinogenicity.
