rse, are quite time-consuming." Dr. Ulrich emphasized that "time more than materials drives up the cost of new drug discovery, and the inability to establish a satisfactory therapeutic index early drives up both costs and the rate of failure for new drug candidates."

Rosetta Inpharmatics offers solutions to the emerging field of informational genomics. By combining the power of informatics and genomics, Rosetta has created a proprietary platform that accelerates and enhances the drug discovery process for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and improves agricultural products. Rosetta Inpharmatics' approach converts the rapidly growing amount of gene expression data, or information about a gene's activity, into organized, statistically driven, information-based results. Rosetta Inpharmatics provides a proprietary gene expression profiling platform, consisting of hardware and software products, that uses gene expression profiles to provide seamless solutions for efficient, cost-effective and powerful discovery programs. Rosetta Inpharmatics' technology builds a critical mass of coherent gene expression data collected from DNA microarrays, which are comprised of DNA fragments attached to glass slides in a grid-like formation. This platform provides comprehensive, simultaneous descriptions of a compound's effect on all relevant targets within a cell.
