Drug discovery companies

Moreover the systems are proving their importance in the earlier phase of drug discovery process, and in the future many drug discovery companies will adopt the cardiotoxicity prediction assays with iPSC- or ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes. The ECVAM urges the development and validation of cardiotoxicity assays in cardiomyocytes.

Profile Acacia Bioscience is a functional genomics and drug discovery company using advances in genome science and combinatorial chemistry to identify potential lead compounds with higher degrees of therapeutic value. 

It is an old compound, which she infers from the low number, but one that belongs to her employer, as the simple code name implies. A more complex name would have meant that Pharmacorp bought certain rights to the compound from a university researcher or a drug discovery company. But, in this instance, all the rights belong to Pharmacorp, where one of her predecessors made the compound for a purpose unrelated to her present effort. Only 18 months ago did academic biochemists elucidate the enzymatic function that Pharmacorp seeks to interrupt. So recent is their work that no one in industry or academe has crystallized the enzyme. Without crystals, no X-ray analysis of the enzyme is possible, so its three-dimensional structure remains unknown. No help there, she notes.
