Miniaturized screening technologies for drug discovery.
Adaptive Profiling (APL) and other biochip companies aim to harness the power of microsystems technology together with advances in chemistry and molecular biology, to become service and technology providers to organizations involved in pharmaceutical research and development. By supplying a unique range of decision-making tools that aid an earlier identification of qualified drug candidates for clinical development, the company should gain a significant share of the 10 billion US dollar biological screening, bioavailability and toxicity assessment market.
