Michigan is home to numerous scientists and business experts who were once part of the large pharmaceutical companies previously headquartered in the state. Thanks to the foresight and commitment of the local business community, these industry experts have remained in-state and are now associated with a collection of specialized service companies.

Metabolic Solutions was established in Kalamazoo for this very reason. Our business breaks from the traditional pharmaceutical company model, in which every business function is held in-house. Instead, we are partnering with a network of Michigan-based scientific entrepreneurs, who fulfill key functions in our targeted discovery and development process.
