 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Putting the Tech in Biotech
Mar 26 2001 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
DNA Sciences is conducting research to detect genetic variations that may be associated with specific diseases. The development-stage firm plans to manufacture diagnostic tests that may determine a proclivity to such congenital diseases as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). In addition, the company is focusing on genetic mutations associated with diseases like cancer, asthma, osteoporosis, and diabetes, as individuals who carry these genes do not always become ill. The firm is also considering developing treatments for these diseases. It has created a prototype DNA sequencer that is licensed to AP Biotech. DNA Sciences bought PPGx, a company researching genetic factors in drug metabolism for pharmaceutical firms.
