Founded in 2004, AION secured strategic alliances with universities, research institutions and industry partners internationally. Exploiting the 10-year history of discoveries of porous silicon made at the former UK Defence Evaluation Agency (now QinetiQ) and backed by USD$50 million in cumulative previous investment in the technology, AION have developed modified porous silicon (mpSi™) which has been proven visible across all major imaging modalities. AION is leveraging the unique visualization capabilities of the mpSi™ technology platform with its biodegradable and biocompatible properties to produce imaging product divisions in Marking, Contrast and Molecular Imaging Agents. Additionally, one such strategic objective is the development of collaborations incorporating the mpSi™ platform with other materials to create superior versions of existing products. Continuing to strive for better solutions to unmet diagnostic needs, AION’s products are committed to the timely visualization of pathologies in a manner which may facilitate prevention rather than treatment of disease.
