Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account each person's individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Today, the ability of Metabolon's metabolomics-based technology to impact human health is more compelling than ever as the promise of precision medicine rapidly becomes a reality. Metabolon aims to provide a more complete picture of health by identifying biomarkers that point toward underlying disease and advance clinical decision-making and research.
"When biological systems are disturbed by disease, genetic mutations, or environmental factors, the metabolic profile often changes," said John Ryals, Ph.D., President and CEO at Metabolon. "Our technology allows us to identify those key biomarkers that provide actionable information for precision medicine. We're proud to be a 2016 FiReStarter company and part of the UnDX Consortium, which brings together new technologies to help provide answers to the patients and their families in the SNS-supported Undiagnosed: Medical Refugees documentary."
"Metabolon is a world leader in a critically important role among those firms engaged in Precision Medicine. By measuring small molecules which often vary over shorter cycles, Metabolon can provide both long- and short-term information on health and disease in a way not available before. We are proud that they are members of the new UnDx Consortium, which will be featured this year at FiRe, and even more delighted to have Metabolon as a FiReStarter company," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service.
