About us

Every biological process leaves a biochemical signature. Genetics, disease, the microbiome, diet, lifestyle and environmental exposures all influence the biochemicals circulating through cells, tissues and biofluids. By measuring these small molecules at scale, metabolomics provides one of the closest views of biological function available. Metabolon is the global leader in metabolomics, delivering high-quality, large-scale biochemical profiling that helps researchers gain deeper insight into biology. From a single biological sample, our technology measures thousands of metabolites, providing a comprehensive snapshot of physiological state and revealing biological changes associated with disease, therapeutic intervention, nutrition and environmental factors. These insights help advance biomarker discovery, drug development, precision medicine and population health. Our scientific leadership is built on the world's largest metabolomics reference library, containing more than 5,400 known compounds, together with industry-leading analytical platforms and 26+ years of metabolomics expertise. This unique combination enables researchers to identify novel biology with confidence and generate reproducible, actionable data. Since our founding in 2000, Metabolon has supported more than 15,000 independent and collaborative studies, contributing to over 4,000 peer-reviewed publications. Headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, we partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, healthcare and nutrition organizations worldwide to accelerate scientific discovery and improve human health.

    Does your microbiome predict your metabolome? Professor Fredrik Bäckhed certainly thinks so. Welcome back to 🎥 Friday Feature: On-Demand Webinars 🎥, where we're sharing memorable moments from our Decoding the Exposome webinar series. In this week's highlight, Professor Bäckhed explains why he believes it's the microbiome that predicts the metabolome, not the other way around. Because many circulating metabolites are produced by our gut microbes, metabolomics offers a unique lens into how the microbiome influences human health. Watch the full webinar to learn how Professor Bäckhed's team combines microbiome and metabolomics data to identify signatures of impaired glucose control, uncover microbial drivers of metabolic disease, and explore how diet and exercise can modulate these pathways to advance precision medicine. 🔗 Watch the full webinar: https://bit.ly/3Rkoyaz Do you think metabolomics is the missing link for understanding microbiome function? We'd love to hear your thoughts. 👇 #MetabolonFridayFeature

    Welcome back to our Women in STEM: Leading the Way in Multiomics series, where we're highlighting the women helping advance multiomics through leadership in metabolomics, bioinformatics, translational science, laboratory operations, quality systems, and scientific strategy. Today, we feature Leane Woody, Director of Laboratory Operations at Metabolon. As Leane explains, operational excellence is the foundation that enables metabolomics to scale without compromising quality. By building reproducibility, consistency, and performance into every step of the workflow, Metabolon delivers the reliable data that powers stronger science, meaningful multiomic integration, and confident discovery.

    Microbiome research is entering a new era of functional discovery. Today, we're excited to announce the expansion of Metabolon's Microbiome Panel, now enabling researchers to screen for more than 800 microbiome-associated metabolites. While metagenomic sequencing reveals microbial community composition and functional potential, metabolomics captures the small molecules microbes produce, transform, or influence — providing functional insights that help connect microbial activity to immune response, disease biology, nutrition, treatment response, and overall health. With our enhanced Microbiome Panel, researchers can: 🔎 Gain a more comprehensive view of microbiome function with 800+ curated microbiome-associated metabolites 🔬 Explore deeper connections between nutrition, host-microbiome interactions, and disease biology through expanded metabolite coverage 🧬 Integrate metabolomics with metagenomics to uncover biological mechanisms, identify biomarkers, and generate richer multiomic insights Learn more about the enhanced Microbiome Panel: https://bit.ly/4aTbKPa

    What do the Kardashians have to do with biological aging? Quite a bit, actually. 😉 Welcome to the first installment of our new series, 🎥 Friday Feature: On-Demand Webinars 🎥, where we'll be sharing memorable moments from our Decoding the Exposome webinar series. This week, we're featuring a highlight from our webinar with Dr. Jessica Lasky-Su, who discusses how her team developed OMICmAge, the first multiomic aging biomarker trained across complementary omics layers, including DNA methylation, proteomics, and untargeted metabolomics. As Dr. Lasky-Su points out, biological age has become such a hot topic in health and wellness that even The Kardashians featured biological age testing in one of their episodes! Watch the full webinar to learn more about OMICmAge, how metabolomics can reveal individual nutritional signatures, uncover immune-metabolic connections, and improve patient stratification for more targeted interventions. Have you seen biological age discussed outside of research lately? We'd love to hear where you've come across it. 👇 🔗 Watch the full webinar: https://bit.ly/4gx9scg #MetabolonFridayFeature
