 PROFILE
Human Genome Sciences (HGS) knows that the fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves -- and wants to fix that. The firm once focused on finding and patenting genes and gene sequences involved in disease; it licensed its gene database to such pharmaceutical heavyweights as GlaxoSmithKline and Schering-Plough. While HGS will still earn royalties from approved drugs developed from the database, the company is now focused on developing its own pipeline of gene-based therapeutics from its gene database. Drug candidates may limit the toxic effects of chemotherapy, promote faster wound healing, stimulate antibody production, and treat hepatitis C.
