Our main line of business is in the Development of Novel Oxidative Stress Biomarkers for the Advancement of Basic and
Applied Research Related to the Mechanism of Aging and to Understand the Role of Oxidative Stress in Biology and Medicine.
Our main objective is to take advantage of the remarkable progress that has been made in this relatively new scientific field,
and to utilize this knowledge base for the development of:
*Cost-effective methods of assessing oxidative stress and its determinants in biological systems
*Methods to measure oxidative stress that can be applied to the improvement of the functionality of processed foods,
agricultural produce, dietary nutrient supplements, and pet food formulations
The company was organized in October 1991 as a Minnesota Corporation by a small group of investors, along with
Dr. Richard G. Cutler. Dr. Cutler is a well-known scientist in the field of molecular gerontology.
Prior to founding Genox, Dr. Cutler spent 18 years as a research chemist at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In 1994 Genox moved its business location from Minneapolis, MN, to Baltimore, MD, and in 2018
sunsequently moved to Torrance, CA.
During the past decade Genox has served the scientific community by providing to researchers products and analytical
testing services for the measurement of biomarkers that indicate oxidative stress levels.
It is our mission to be of service to the scientific community by developing fast, accurate, useful, and cost-effective
oxidative stress related products so that the basic and applied research in this field can progress at a faster pace.

The Japan Institute for the Control of Aging has conducted research into control of aging since its
foundation under the doctrine of contributing health promotion. As a result, the institute
succeeded in developing a DNA oxidative damage measuring kit, thus taking the lead for this field.
The institute now sells many products related to oxidative stress, and such products are utilized in
the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biochemistry, food sciences, etc. The institute also performs
assay services utilizing its unique technologies. Preventive medicine and anti-aging are receiving
increased attention with the advancement of aging society. In these areas, our Institute will
contribute to realizing a healthy, long-lived society by developing and supplying research products.

| Business of the institute |
Develop, manufacture and sell biomarkers used for measuring oxidative stress and antioxidants.
Assay services using biomarkers, such as urine and blood sampling tests and food antioxidant assays.
The Japan Institute for the Control of Aging is engaged in the kit reagent business and assay service business.
In the kit reagent business, our Institute develops, manufactures,
and sells research reagents used for measuring oxidative stress
markers. In addition, our Institute's monoclonal antibodies and
ELISA kits used for detecting products of oxidative damage
caused by reactive oxygen species are highly evaluated by
customers worldwide. The 8-OHdG Check (8-OHdG ELISA kit),
the main product of the Institute, was awarded the Ikeda Special
Prize of the Innovation Grand Prix in 1999 and a prize from the
Minister of Science and Technology Agency in 2000.
In the assay service business, we conduct sample testing on urine and blood and perform antioxidant
assays on foods based on the products we have developed and the analysis skills we have accumulated
over many years. Interest in preventive medicine, anti-aging, and functional foods has increased in recent
years. As a result, there have been growing number of requests from hospitals, universities, research
institutes, food manufacturers, and medicine manufacturers all over Japan to analyze oxidative stress
markers, aging-related hormones, and minerals.
