News for 'LSBC' - (Large Scale Biology Corporation Awarded Biomarker
Research Grant)

GERMANTOWN, Md., Sep 23, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Large Scale Biology
Corporation (Nasdaq:LSBC) has been awarded a grant by the National
Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) for research leading to the discovery
of
biomarkers for alcohol-related diseases. Discovery of significant protein
factors are expected to impact early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment
of
alcoholic diseases. The work will be conducted at LSBC's Proteomics
Division.

The study will generate a comprehensive database of changes in protein
expression from different areas of the brain as induced by alcohol-related
phenomena. LSBC's proprietary ProGEx(TM) protein expression technology
will
separate, quantify and identify proteins exhibiting significant
correlations.
The work will include collaboration with the Indiana University Alcohol
Research
Center, a specialized alcoholism research facility funded by NIAAA.

"This proteomics study for NIAAA represents an application of LSBC
technology in
the vast and promising area of brain research," said Kevin J. Ryan,
president
and CEO of LSBC. "We are pleased by this opportunity to contribute to the
mission of NIAAA and the global health implications of its focus."
