HemoGenix is a privately held company located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. HemoGenix® was founded in March 2000 by Ivan N. Rich, PhD, an internationally recognized researcher in the field of developmental, experimental and applied clinical hematology. HemoGenix® was initially formed as a Contract Research Service Laboratory for the biopharmaceutical industry to test new drug candidates for their effect on stem and other primitive cells of the blood-forming system. HemoGenix® was the first company to provide true, high throughput screening and testing in vitro assays that provided a high degree of predictive value that can be directly extrapolated to the human situation. Virtually all the patented and proprietary assays developed by HemoGenix® have also been further developed into assay kits for in-house use that are produced, manufactured and sold around the world from the Colorado Springs facility.
