Join Metabolon at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 

Metabolon is proud to attend ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 from 21 to 22 October 2025 at Liverpool, UK. This event unites over 3,000 delegates — scientists, technologists, life-science companies, academic investigators, and R&D leaders — in Europe’s leading festival of drug discovery and life sciences.  

You will find Elisabeth Stork and Simoné de Faria Maraschin in the poster area.

Come by to learn more about how metabolomics accelerates biomarker discovery, deepens mechanistic understanding, and bridges translational gaps in drug development pipelines

Key themes at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 

  • Translating ideas into therapies 
  • Chemical biology & small molecule innovation 
  • Omics & multi-omics integration 
  • Advanced disease models & high-content screening 
  • AI, machine learning, and computational biology 
  • Robotics, automation, assay miniaturization 
  • Oncology, neurodegeneration, and target validation 

Metabolon plays a key role in advancing drug discovery and translational medicine by providing a real-time view of the biochemical activities occurring within the body. 

The Role of Metabolomics in ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 

Unlike genomics or proteomics, which only infer potential function, metabolomics captures the end products of cellular processes, offering real-time insight into physiological states, disease progression, and therapeutic response. 

Uniquely, metabolomics sits at the intersection of genetics, lifestyle, the environment, and the effect of the microbiome, reflecting the cumulative impact of these factors on an individual’s health. It bridges the gap between genotype and phenotype, accelerating translational research and making precision medicine more predictive, preventive, and effective.

Why visiting Metabolon’s booth at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2025 

With 25 years of scientific expertise, over 4,000 publications, more than 15,000 completed projects, and the world’s largest curated metabolite reference library (with more than 5,400 level 1 and level 2 annotated metabolites), Metabolon is the global leader in metabolomics. 

Our platform is built on high-resolution mass spectrometry, rigorous quality controls, and a deep biochemical understanding that ensures accurate identification and quantification of metabolites across diverse sample types. 

To maximize the value of metabolomic data, Metabolon offers an Integrated Bioinformatics Platform that empowers researchers to combine other omics datasets (such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) in a single, unified environment. Designed for collaboration and with advanced statistical tools, interactive visualizations, machine learning capabilities, the platform enables research teams across disciplines to jointly explore data, annotate findings, and generate hypotheses in real time. 

Don’t stay behind – incorporate high-quality metabolomics analysis in your project. Book a meeting with our team using the form on this page to discover how our biology-first approach reveals novel, clinically actionable biomarkers that drive precision medicine forward.
