Bar Harbor BioTechnology, Inc. ("BHB") is developing innovative molecular biology products and services that advance life science research and clinical medicine. BHB began operations in September 2006 as the first commercial spin-off of The Jackson Laboratory, a leading independent research institution specializing in mammalian genetics. BHB is located in Trenton, Maine, the gateway to Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island. Biomedical research, whether in academic or commercial settings, seeks to answer how biological systems operate normally and how diseases develop when these systems go awry. Answering those questions increasingly requires life scientists and clinicians to measure the activity of key sets of genes that are important to the biological system or disease of interest. This process, known as "molecular profiling", is integral to advancing life science research and clinical diagnosis in the 21st century.
