About Beyond Genomics
Founded in 2000, Beyond Genomics is an emerging biotechnology company that applies its proprietary Systems Biology platforms to develop novel therapeutics and biomarkers. Current approaches such as genomics and proteomics focus on one aspect of biological systems at a time. Rather than simplifying the inherent complexity of biological processes that underlie human diseases or that govern drug responses, Beyond Genomics has pioneered the creation of Molecular Phenotypes鈩� to enable biological research at the systems level. BG develops Molecular Phenotypes鈩� unique to each disease and drug category by performing multiple measurements on complex biological samples, including metabolites, proteins and gene transcripts, and combining these data sets together with clinical information. Tracking changes in Molecular Phenotypes鈩� can improve multiple aspects of pharmaceutical discovery and development, including drug safety and efficacy, drug response, and the etiology of disease. BG's Systems Biology platform integrates state-of-the-art technologies in proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics. The company has also developed a proprietary BioSystematics鈩� data integration and knowledge management platform that generates connections, correlations, and relationships among thousands of measurable molecular components. The company has partnerships with several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, AstraZeneca, and 茠lan. ().
