Physicians that integrate Ixcela into their practices benefit from a full-picture view of patient health. Our functional gut microbiome testing and targeted interventions help physicians to deliver more meaningful outcomes to patients.
Patient Health in Clear View
Ixcela’s patented testing brings a new dimension of patient care to clinical practices. By measuring the function of key metabolites related to health and wellness, physicians can gain a multifaceted look at how a patient’s gut microbiome is influencing their symptoms. Our testing provides physicians with precise values for 11 metabolites along with meaningful, actionable interventions to improve outcomes. As an added bonus, dietitian guidance, whether delivered by a practitioner or through Ixcela, gives patients the support they need to heal while also freeing up clinical time.
Ixcela research comes from in-house experimentation (conducted with pharmaceutical partners like Pfizer, nonprofit organizations like NASA, and academic institutions such as Harvard, Massachusetts General Hospital, Duke, and Mayo Clinic), peer-reviewed literature, and clinical studies conducted at other laboratories around the world.
Founded by Experienced Scientists
Co-founder Wayne Matson, Ph.D. has been pioneering metabolomic research for over 50 years. Considered the father of modern metabolomics, Matson invented the childhood lead testing methodologies adopted by the CDC in the 1970s and still used today. He is also the inventor of the analytical testing technology that enables Ixcela’s breakthrough functional gut health test. Wayne has hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and has collaborated with a “who’s who” of medical researchers, including scientists at NASA, Harvard, MGH, UCLA, and the Mayo Clinic.
Erika Angle, Ph.D. was Wayne’s student and her Ph.D. on metabolomic testing underlies Ixcela’s technology. Erika’s leadership and drive to make this technology broadly available to the public led to the founding of Ixcela. She has served as Ixcela’s CEO for more than a decade.
