Senomyx, Inc.
 PROFILE
Senomyx nose a good thing when it smells it. The development-stage company, through collaboration projects with the likes of Kraft Foods, hopes to take the flavor and fragrance industry to a whole new level. Senomyx, along with partners and licensees, has identified about 375 human receptor genes related to the detection of smells and tastes. Using this gene research, the company plans to develop flavor and fragrance molecules that fulfill desired taste and odor properties. Potential products include agents that can block bitter tastes in coffee, make low-sodium snacks taste salty, and block unpleasant odors. Investment firms Bay City Capital and Prospect Venture Partners are major shareholders in Senomyx.
