Corporate Profile

Message from the CEO

Ecogenomics, Inc. is a small bio-venture company, focusing on the development of DNA microarray-based toxicity risk assessment tools.

We strongly feel that DNA microarray technology’s application in toxicity risk assessment will be highly valuable in the near future, especially while human and other organisms’ genomic sequences are being read and revealed further and further each day.

For the last several decades, various environmental and health hazard problems caused by industrial waste products, agrochemical by-products, and household waste products have been a major concern in environmental risk assessment and protection movements. These products (chemicals) have been endangering the maintenance of our comfortable living environment and ecological harmony. A few examples of such chemical products are categorized into persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and pharmaceuticals/personal care products (PPCPs). Unfortunately, a large number of scientific research reports by now have suggested that these chemicals have adverse effects on reproduction and healthy development of many wildlife species, and in some cases, human was no exception to be affected.

At Ecogenomics Inc. we use small laboratory fish species, e.g. medaka and zebrafish, to analyze expression (response) of a group of specific genes that are affected by the exposure of a certain chemical(s), and will support creating a database that compiles the risk management information by linking together gene functions (molecular endpoints) and visible symptoms (physiological and histological endpoints).

In fact, the genome sequencing projects and their sequence database have greatly assisted the identification of fish genes and their functions, which could be very informative in risk assessment and understanding the relationship between chemical toxicity and its mechanism.

Development of the tools that can assess environmental/chemical toxicity at molecular level and can be used for precautionary measurement against such toxicity is a must. Therefore, as the members of Ecogenomics, Inc. and as the members of planet Earth, we are now all proud to be involved in our R&D and business development in order to stop further unnecessary damage to our living environment and ecosystem.
