<<I see from this year's annual report that one of the goals of Gene Logic is to begin using the Flow-Through chip--screening for leads. I think I asked this once before, but I will again: Where does Gene Logic get the library of compounds from which to find candidates?>>
The chip is still in development. We have not done any screening yet.
If we were to successfully develop the chip for this purpose, the customer (i.e., pharmaceutical company) would be expected to supply the library.
The paragraph above contains forward-looking statements about the potential use of the Flow-thru Chip(TM) microarray in screening for lead compounds. Such statements reflect management's current view of future events. Actual results may differ materially from these projections because of a number of factors, including risks related to technological challenges, competition, the cost-effectiveness of the technology, and the degree to which pharmaceutical companies use gene expression information in their drug discovery programs. These risk factors and others are more fully described in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
