<<ust listkeeping. Sure, if Caliper/Xenogen continues
to allow Gene Logic use of the glow in the dark mice
and their imaging machines and such, super.>>

The MC of GLGC is now a little over 50 million - at least it is positive <smile>. I read this morning that GLGC sunk 150 million into their tissue bank, which I assume they still have and is active in their repositioning targets? If they can merge the information gleamed from the tissue bank with live cell changes achived through one of the machines - read XGEN - it just feels to me they are one "mouse" click away from a successful target.

Kind of blurring the discussion between CALP and GLGC, but maybe that is not a bad thing?

Trying to remember Melior/listkeeping

COMPETITION
Drug Repositioning Division

Currently, an increasing number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are evaluating whether to implement internal repositioning programs for their own drug candidates. In addition, there are companies attempting to reposition drug candidates on behalf of drug development partners, including Melior, KineMed, Perlegen Sciences, Inc., Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. and CombinatoRX Inc. We are not aware of any existing competitor that has developed, or is in the process of developing, a comparable suite of technologies to that employed by us. Other companies, some of whom are not doing repositioning work, have individual technologies that could directly compete with components of our drug repositioning technology platform.

and many listed here:

including quite a few I've never heard of such as
ActivX, AnalytiCon, Arachnova, Astellas and Asterand
and that is just the A's
