Nov. 30, 2000-- Rosetta Inpharmatics, Inc. (Nasdaq:RSTA - news) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT - news) to investigate the molecular basis of toxicity of a wide range of different compounds in animal and human liver model systems.
By combining Rosetta's expertise in bioinformatics, the Rosetta FlexJet(TM) DNA Microarray Platform, and the Rosetta Resolver(TM) Expression Data Analysis product with Abbott's extensive capabilities in toxicological sciences, the two companies will create a proprietary database for toxicology analysis. Each company will fund their own respective efforts under the collaboration.
The collaboration will create gene expression profiles for a portfolio of recognized compounds that result in toxic responses in both animals and humans. These compounds will provide an important reference to accurately predict the toxicity of compounds with therapeutic potential using gene expression profiles. It will also provide important information concerning differences in the response between animal and human liver systems.
Using the knowledge derived from the collaboration, the companies will develop translation algorithms thereby enabling the prediction of human responses using animal models or cell lines.
This collaboration enables Rosetta to build fundamental patterns that are prerequisites to our ongoing collaborative work with Abbott and other partners. The application of these technologies will allow the rapid analysis of gene expression patterns providing researchers with an efficient and cost-effective means to predict potential toxicity of drug candidates earlier in the drug development cycle than could be obtained using standard methods....
