Manchester facility boosts biotechnology
Email articleComment on this articlePublished: 16 June 2006 04:00 PM
Industry Channel: Medical & Pharmaceutical
Source: The Engineer Online

A new £25 million facility dedicated to finding new treatments for
diseases such as HIV and cancer was launched at The University of
Manchester today.

The Core Technology Facility (CTF) labs are already looking at ways
to grow replacement tissue, such as veins and arteries, and even
whole organs that could one day be transplanted into patients
suffering from conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

The CTF will provide specialist accommodation for biotech companies
as well as academic staff from the university's Faculties of Life
Sciences and Medical and Human Sciences.

The facility will encourage commercial exploitation of these
university research activities by providing integrated space in
which young businesses can work alongside University research
groups. The CTF is being launched by The University of Manchester
Incubator Company Limited (UMIC), which manages a portfolio of
business incubators on behalf of the university

Chandler planning biotech facility

Chandler planning biotech facility
By Chris Markham, Tribune

June 12, 2006
Chandler officials don’t want to place all of their economic development eggs in one basket — instead, they want to hatch some in a $15 million bioscience technology “incubator.”


The City Council recently approved an $81,000 contract to begin planning a community technology incubator and accelerator that economic development officials say would help diversify Chandler’s already strong foothold in the high-tech arena. The facility would help fledgling bioscience companies, especially those in the nanotechnology field, get off the ground.

“Chandler is already a signature technology community,” said Christine MacKay, an economic development specialist for the city. She specifically noted Intel and Motorola, which both have large facilities there.

Biotech News - New Report Analyzes Pharmaceutical Market Segmentation Spending, Strategy and Im

New Report Analyzes Pharmaceutical Market Segmentation Spending,
Strategy and Implementation
Thursday June 15, 9:55 am ET

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmaceutical
business intelligence leader Cutting Edge Information announces the
launch of a new report, "Pharmaceutical Market Segmentation:
Spending, Strategy and Implementation"
ADVERTISEMENT


(http://www.cuttingedgeinfo.com/pharmamarketsegmentation/index.htm).

The report assesses real pharmaceutical companies' market
segmentation spending, structures, strategies, staffing and
implementation practices. Compiled from interviews and surveys with
marketing, market research and sales executives in the
pharmaceutical and biotech industries, the report allows drug
companies to compare and improve their own market segmentation
methodologies.

With the industry reversing course on sales force expansion,
companies are in need of finding more effective sales practices.
Rather than dominating the market through sheer number of sales
reps, companies are developing more targeted marketing campaigns -
aimed at selling to the right candidates, in the right way.

Pharmaceutical companies use market segmentation techniques to slice
their sales targets - be they physicians, consumers, or insurance
payors - into groups based on factors as simple as demographics,
geography or prescription volume. More sophisticated companies add
measures including behaviors, attitudes, and psychographics to their
segmentation plans. Compiling these factors and grouping targets
based on their characteristics allows companies to develop campaigns
that hit targets with the most effective messages through the most
effective mediums.

"This report can help pharmaceutical and biotech companies develop
stronger and more effective market segmentation strategies. Our
research shows the resources companies dedicate to market
segmentation, how real companies grade the various segmentation
techniques in terms of their effectiveness, and how companies
overcome many of the challenges associated with segmentation
implementation," says David Richardson, senior research analyst at
Cutting Edge Information. "With sales force expansion slowing
tremendously and even reversing course, companies are trying to find
more effective ways of reaching their key targets - and influencing
their actions. Market segmentation is helping them do this."

According to Richardson, companies need to keep pace with the
industry leaders in terms of effectively reaching their target
markets. Otherwise, their brands could get lost in crowded markets.

http://www.cuttingedgeinfo.com/pharmamarketsegmentation/index.htm.

Biotech News - Favrille Announces FDA Allowance of Investigational New Drug Application for FAV

Favrille Announces FDA Allowance of Investigational New Drug
Application for FAV-201, a Patient-Specific Immunotherapy for T-Cell
Lymphoma
Thursday June 15, 6:30 am ET

SAN DIEGO, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Favrille, Inc. (Nasdaq:
FVRL - News), a biopharmaceutical company developing patient-
specific immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, announced
today that its electronic Investigational New Drug (IND) application
for FAV-201, a patient-specific immunotherapy for the treatment of T-
cell lymphoma, has been cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration (FDA). Initially, FAV-201 will be evaluated in
cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL).
ADVERTISEMENT


(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031013/LAM095LOGO )

"This new product candidate represents an extension of our platform
and draws on our success to date in the development of our lead
product candidate FavId® for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (NHL)," said John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., President and
Chief Executive Officer of Favrille. "This regulatory clearance by
the FDA is an important milestone in the development of FAV-201 and
we look forward to introducing it in the clinic."

Favrille intends to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating
the safety and biologic activity of FAV-201 in patients with CTCL.
The trial will build upon preclinical data that suggest activity of
an immunotherapy based on a T-cell receptor. The multi-center trial
is expected to enroll approximately 30 patients.

FAV-201 is a recombinant, patient-specific, T-cell receptor-based
immunotherapy designed to induce an active immune response against
the unique protein found on the surface of T-cells that constitute a
patient's lymphoma. Favrille uses a similar approach with its lead
product candidate FavId for the treatment of B-cell NHL. In January
the Company completed enrollment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial
of FavId following induction therapy with Rituxan®, the current
standard of care. Favrille has received Fast Track designation from
the FDA for FavId.

Biotech News - Upstream Biosciences Inc. Appoints University of British Columbia Dean of Pharma

Upstream Biosciences Inc. Appoints University of British Columbia
Dean of Pharmaceutical Sciences Robert Sindelar to Scientific
Advisory Board
VANCOUVER, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/14/2006 -- Upstream Biosciences
Inc. (OTCBB: UPBS) ("Upstream" or "the Company"), an emerging leader
in the field of genetic diagnostics for cancer and the prediction of
drug response, has announced today the appointment of Dr. Robert D.
Sindelar to its scientific advisory board. Dr. Sindelar is Professor
and Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at The University
of British Columbia.

Dr. Sindelar's expertise lies in medicinal chemistry, computer-aided
drug discovery and design, pharmaceutical biotechnology, and
creating opportunities to integrate innovation into the health care
system. He maintained an active research program that focused on the
human immune system and drug design for related diseases. This work
resulted in more than $14 million (US$) in extramural funding as
Principle (PI) and Co-PI Investigator, about 60 refereed journal
articles, six U.S. patents, several foreign patents and over 100
scientific and professional presentations. He serves as a member of
the editorial boards of various scientific journals, including The
APhA Biotechnology Initiative, Current Medicinal Chemistry, Current
Patents in Infectious Diseases, Medicinal Chemistry, and the journal
IDrugs: The Investigational New Drug Journal. Besides having co-
edited a popular textbook on pharmaceutical biotechnology, which has
been translated into several languages, Dr. Sindelar is the
recipient of several School and University-wide teaching honors. In
addition to his leadership role in the Faculty, Dr. Sindelar
continues to teach in the professional undergraduate curriculum in
several courses. He has been active in promoting the profession of
pharmacy, the BC biotechnology community and life sciences research
with numerous government and health care stakeholders at the
national and local levels. He currently sits on the Council of The
College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, serves on the Board of
Directors of BC Biotech and serves on other scientific advisory

"Genetics will play an ever-increasing role in explaining, and
eventually predicting, the effectiveness of drug therapy," says Dr.
Sindelar. "A patient's genetic profile can have a significant impact
on drug response, both the desired effect, but also adverse drug
reactions."

Upstream is developing diagnostic tests that may aid in the early
detection of cancer by identifying individuals with disease
susceptibility. Upstream is also developing diagnostic tests that
may determine whether a drug will be useful or harmful to an
individual patient based on their genetic profile. According to the
Journal of the American Medical Association, each year 100,000
people die in the United States due to adverse reactions to
prescription drugs.

About Upstream Biosciences Inc.

Upstream Biosciences Inc. is an emerging leader in the field of
genetic diagnostics for cancer and the prediction of drug response
founded in 2004. Upstream discovers, develops, and licenses genetic-
based diagnostics for cancer susceptibility and drug response.
Upstream's proprietary data mining pipeline enables it to locate and

Biotech News - TGen Foundation Announces Kristin Hornaday Fund

TGen Foundation Announces Kristin Hornaday Fund

Fund will help further TGen's Melanoma Research Programs

06-12-2006

Phoenix, Arizona, June 12, 2006--The TGen Foundation today announced
the creation of the Kristin Hornaday Fund for Melanoma Research.
Kristin, the daughter of RuthAnn and Tom Hornaday, lost her battle
with melanoma in June of 1993 at the age of 26.
Karen and Bill Clements, who are lifelong friends of the Hornadays,
started the fund, which has already raised over $65,000 to support
TGen's melanoma research programs.

Melanoma is the most dangerous and aggressive form of skin cancer.
The five-year survival rate for melanoma decreases dramatically
(from 96% to 12%) as the disease progresses from Stage I to Stage
IV. It kills more women aged 25-30 than any other cancer. Caught
early, melanoma has a cure rate of about 90%. However, there is no
proven standard therapy for high risk or advanced melanoma and no
new treatments have been introduced in thirty years.

Melanoma investigators at TGen are attacking familial and sporadic
melanoma on multiple fronts, furthering TGen's mission to develop
earlier diagnoses and smarter treatments. Research initiatives
include:

- Investigating how previously identified genes contribute to
melanoma progression.

- Studying large numbers of patient samples to improve the detection
of melanoma and identify previously unknown drug targets.

- Investigating a 100-gene region to identify a familial melanoma-
susceptibility gene.

"Generous people like the Hornadays and the Clements are helping
TGen to make an incredible impact on fighting terrible diseases such
as melanoma," said Michael Bassoff, president of the TGen
Foundation. "The Kristin Hornaday Fund for Melanoma Research will
enable our investigators to accelerate the research process and
bring breakthroughs to patients faster."

Kristin, nicknamed Kristi by her friends and family, brought joy to
all who knew her. She attended Xavier High School where she was
president of the student body. She graduated with honors from
Denison University in 1988 and was working in sales at IBM when she
was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 1990. During the next three
years she went though periods where she was thought to be cancer
free, only to have the cancer return. Outstanding physicians at some
of the world's most renowned cancer centers treated her. She married
Greg Garrett in November of 1992, but even this storybook romance
could not save her from metastatic melanoma.

"Everyone in our family suffered greatly with Kristi's battle with
melanoma and we want to help other families avoid similar trauma,"
said Mr. Hornaday.

Fund for Melanoma Research.

Biotech News - Rosetta Biosoftware Leverages Borland Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Pro

Rosetta Biosoftware Leverages Borland Application Lifecycle
Management (ALM) Products to Help Customers Reduce the Time and Cost
of Drug Development

New System Developed with Borland Tools Used by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation, Pharmaceutical
Companies, Premier Academic Institutions and Service Providers

http://www.arizonabiotech.com/

Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq:BORL), the global leader for
Software Delivery Optimization (SDO), announced today that Rosetta
Biosoftware is using Borland's Application Lifecycle Management
(ALM) products to deliver well-defined, well-documented, high-
quality software for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Rosetta Biosoftware leverages Borland's tightly integrated CaliberRM
(R), StarTeam(R) and Together(R) products along with the company's
Consulting and Education Services to manage its critical software
development processes. In recognition of its use of information
technology to benefit society, Rosetta Biosoftware was recently
named an IDG Computerworld Honors Program Laureate.

Rosetta Biosoftware is currently using Borland's ALM products to
streamline and automate the processes of requirements management,
software change and configuration management as well as visual
modeling and architectural design. The processes are critical to the
ongoing development of its flagship product, the Rosetta Resolver(R)
system.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biotech-news/

The Rosetta Resolver system offers life science researchers an
analysis and data management framework for gene expression which can
minimize costly and time-intensive downstream drug development. Life
science research organizations that have licensed the system include
many of the top pharmaceutical companies from around the world, as
well as premier academic institutions and service providers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) and National Center for Toxicological
Research (NCTR) are currently using the Rosetta Resolver system as
one of several platforms for the analysis of data submitted through
Voluntary Genomics Data Submissions (VGDS), through which microarray
data are submitted from companies engaged in drug development. Gene
expression data analysis is playing an increasing role in
pharmaceutical and biotech drug development in areas such as
toxicogenomics, clinical studies and molecular diagnostics. These
data open new opportunities to better understand diseases and
develop safer drugs more quickly.

Rosetta Biosoftware's primary goal is to empower researchers in drug
discovery and development to conduct cutting-edge research for
improving the quality of human life. Because its customers rely on
the Resolver system to enable the drug discovery process, they need
confidence in the software's accuracy and its ability to reproduce
analysis results. Customers also need confidence in Rosetta's
methods for developing and validating the software, which means
those development and validation methods must be transparent and
well-documented.

"Early on we realized we needed a comprehensive ALM solution like
the one Borland provides us to integrate, automate and document our
core development processes," explained Jim Pearson, manager of
quality assurance at Rosetta Biosoftware. "The life sciences
industry rapidly changes as information technology is applied to
more areas of research. It is imperative that we're able to quickly
deliver new features and functionality to address this rapidly
evolving market. To do that we needed a powerful but flexible system
that can support our rigorous requirements and easily adapt to our
methodologies."

Integrated ALM Products Help Increase Predictability of Software
Delivery

Rosetta Biosoftware leverages the tightly integrated and
customizable Borland CaliberRM technology to automate its specific
requirements processes and to track requirements from elicitation
through final delivery. Once the business, technical, functional and
operational requirements are entered into the Borland CaliberRM
system, stakeholders across the organization can easily map their
individual efforts back to the requirements and collaborate with
each other more effectively.

In addition, Borland StarTeam provides a robust platform for the
entire software delivery process. It promotes team communication and
collaboration through automated workflows and centralized control of
all project assets. Rosetta Biosoftware also enables its customers
to leverage this system to enter escalation and enhancement requests
for the Resolver product, and then extract web pages to view the
progress of their change requests.

The Rosetta Biosoftware team is also using Borland Together to help
bridge the communication gap between business and IT stakeholders.
Using this common set of visual modeling languages, Rosetta
Biosoftware is able to more accurately and efficiently define the
next release of the Resolver system. With support for business
process modeling, data modeling, application modeling and
visualization, and comprehensive audits and metrics for both models
and code, Borland Together helps the Rosetta's development team
accelerate delivery of a high-quality solution.
