• Powerful medicinal chemistry: World-class synthetic chemistry for lead generation and optimization; in silico molecular design and screening.
• Exclusive discovery programs: Customized cell-based assays; state-of-the-art high-throughput screening; proprietary, novel targets for immune disorders and oncology; and an integrated, high-throughput chemical biology approach for discovering and validating novel molecules and mechanisms of action.
• Unique chemical library: Large, proprietary library with highly drug-like compounds assembled over two decades from non-traditional, non-combinatorial sources; well-annotated through a sophisticated chemoinformatics system.
• Complete development capabilities: Extensive, in-house animal models; process development and scale-up; strong Phase 1 and 2 clinical trial management experience.
• Proven track record: Senior team members have combined clinical development experience with over 30 small-molecule drugs and biologics now in late-stage trials or on market.
• Strong financial backing: Over $120 million directly invested since 1997; $75 million private financing announced March 2003.
