Welcome to Metallomix
We are out-of-the box thinkers who develop the isotope-selective modulation platform that empowers creating breakthrough therapies for unmet medical needs.
With that mission in mind, we live and work to extend and expand our proprietary research of isotopic signatures in biological cells and tissues, and to develop a pipeline of novel therapeutics that helps people live better for longer.

Our expertise is centered around the integration of Metallomics and pharmaceutical development, focusing on the role and function of isotopic fractionation and roles of stable isotopes within metalloproteomics. Unlike conventional medications that typically interact with their targets on a surface level, thereby managing symptoms rather than the root cause, our isotope-selective modulation, in conjunction with a multi-omic approach, empowers us to create drugs that holistically influence critical biological processes, ranging from protein synthesis and DNA repair to mitochondrial function, and reduction of local any systemic inflammation and oxidative stress.
Making The Difference
Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in the development of several chronic conditions affecting many organs. These conditions are interconnected and intensify one another, thus fueling a "snowball" effect that accelerates the progression of many dysfunctions leading to life-threatening diseases.
Metallome deficiencies in general, and isotopic fractionation in particular, may induce chronic pro-inflammatory state and oxidative stress, also impairing protein folding and stability, mitochondrial and lysosomal functions, and other vital processes, which offers new and unique way for modern science to perceive degeneration and ageing.
Isotopically enriched zinc-64 plays a critical role in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress via several mechanisms of action, which renders a therapeutic effect on many vital organs.
