  We apply our innovative
in vitro
embryonic stem (ES) cell technologies
to discover and develop new generation drugs and protein biologics, both
internally and through strategic collaborations with the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries.

  Our ES cell technologies enable the discovery and validation of both
classical disease- drug targets and pathway-specific proteins that are potential
biological drug molecules. We are focusing our ES cell technologies on
high-throughput drug discovery screens in the diabetes and neurological disease
markets.

  Our ES cell technologies provide predictive human ES
cell-based heart and liver cell assay systems that address the limitations of
current biological systems and focus on the two most relevant cell types for
pharmaceutical toxicity testing.
