Metabolomics Innovations

Metabolomics Innovations is a spin-out company from the University of Alberta and leverages significant research and data that has been used to create some of the world's most comprehensive metabolomics databases. While our databases remain free for academic research purposes, we broker access to these valuable database resources for the private sector. Our goal is to provide ongoing support and maintenance of these tools for the research community through our partnership with Dr. David Wishart, Co-founder of The Metabolomics Innovation Centre and developer of the Human Metabolome Database, FooDB and MarkerDB to name a few.

The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB)

A curated collection of human metabolite and human metabolism data containing records for more than 2180 endogenous metabolites.

MarkerDB

An electronic database that attempts to consolidate information on all known clinical and a selected set of pre-clinical biomarkers into a single resource.

Toxin and Toxin Target Database (T3DB)

A unique bioinformatics resource that combines detailed toxin data with comprehensive target information.

Small Molecule Pathway Database (SMPDB)

An interactive database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. It is designed to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in clinical metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology.

FooDB

A comprehensive resource on food constituents, chemistry and biology. It provides information on both macronutrients and micronutrients, including many of the constituents that give foods their flavor, aroma, colour, and texture.

API Benefits

APIs are designed to enable clients to access, automate, and customize real-time data retrieval directly from databases, ensuring they work with the most current and relevant information. Our APIs are designed to scale efficiently, integrate seamlessly with existing systems, and enhance data security and access control.

General API

MII offers its clients generic APIs offer comprehensive data access, featuring automated retrieval, real-time availability, scalability, seamless integration, and robust security.

Automated Data Retrieval

APIs allow clients to programmatically access data without needing to manually search or download files. This automation saves time and reduces the risk of human error.

Real-Time Data Access

APIs provide real-time data access, enabling clients to work with the most current information. This is particularly vital in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and research, where up-to-date data is essential for informed decision-making.

Scalability

For clients with high data demands, APIs can handle large-scale data requests efficiently. They are designed to managemultiple, concurrent requests, supporting everything from individual users to large applications with ease.

Integration with Existing Systems

APIs make it simple to integrate database data with clients' internal applications, data analytics tools, and reporting software.

Data Security and Access Control

APIs incorporate robust authentication mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data, thereby safeguarding information and aiding compliance with data protection regulations.

Customized API

Our customized APIs enable clients to specify parameters and filters, allowing them to retrieve only the data pertinent to their needs. This targeted approach minimizes the retrieval of unnecessary information, thereby reducing processing time and storage requirements. Consequently, clients can avoid the expenses associated with extensive data warehousing, accessing precisely what they need, when they need it.
