'''Metabiota''' is a [[San Francisco]]-based [[pandemic]] tracking and response firm. Metabiota services include global field-based biological threat research, pathogen discovery, outbreak response and clinical trials. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has outsourced much of this work under the military program to private companies, which are not held accountable to Congress, and which can operate more freely and move around the rule of law.<ref>https://archive.fo/fVtcf#selection-1493.0-1493.4</ref>

[[Hunter Biden]]'s [[Rosemont Seneca]] Technology Partners (RSTP) was a lead financial backer of Metabiota.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/hunter-biden-invested-in-ecohealth-wuhan-partner/</ref> Among the companies listed on archived versions of the firm’s portfolio is Financial reports reveal that RSTP led the company’s first round of funding, which amounted to $30 million. Former Managing Director and co-founder of RSTP Neil Callahan – a name that appears many times on Hunter Biden’s hard drive – also sits on Metabiota’s Board of Advisors.
==Ukraine==
Metabiota Inc. was awarded $18.4 million federal contracts under the Pentagon’s DTRA program in [[Ukraine]] and the [[Republic of Georgia]] and for scientific and technical consulting services.
==Wuhan Institute of Virology==
Since 2014, Metabiota has been a partner of [[Peter Daszak]]’s EcoHealth Alliance and the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]] as part of the [[U.S. Agency for International Development]]’s (USAID) “PREDICT” project, which seeks to “predict and prevent global emerging disease threats.” As part of this effort, researchers from Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborated on a study relating to bat infectious diseases in China. “Sensitive and broadly reactive RT-PCR assays were performed at Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,” the paper notes. Among the researchers listed is [[Shi Zhengli]], the Wuhan lab director. Peter Daszak is also listed as an author.
==Ebola==
Metabiota Inc. had been contracted by the Pentagon to perform work for DTRA before and during the Ebola crisis in West Africa and was awarded $3.1 million (2012-2015) for work in Sierra Leone – one of the countries at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak. Metabiota has also been embroiled in controversy for “bungling” America’s response to Ebola.

WHO outbreak expert
A July 17, 2014 report drafted by the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium, accused Metabiota Inc. of failing to abide by an existing agreement on how to report test results and for bypassing the Sierra Leonean scientists working there. The report also raised the possibility that Metabiota was culturing blood cells at the lab, something the report said was dangerous, as well as misdiagnosing healthy patients. An email from Dr. Eric Bertherat of the WHO to colleagues about misdiagnoses and “total confusion” at the [[Sierra Leone]] government lab Metabiota shared with [[Tulane University]] in the city of Kenema. He said there was “no tracking of the samples” and “absolutely no control on what is being done.” “This is a situation that WHO can no longer endorse,” he wrote. All of those allegations were denied by Metabiota.
