MORRISVILLE – Metabolon is gearing as much as additional drive its world mission in precision drugs and drug analysis via research of the metabolome with $25 million in new fairness funding.
The metabolome refers back to the full set of small-molecule chemical substances discovered inside a organic pattern.
Metabolon not too long ago signed a testing settlement with Mayo Clinic.
