Galapagos Genomics NV
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
The mission of Galapagos Genomics NV is much the same as that of many other start-up companies today: to determine the function of at least some of the genes that are now swamping databases and frustrating pharmaceutical researchers with their very abundance. It inherits a powerful combination of technologies from its parents: from Introgene BV, it gets technology for making libraries of adenoviral vectors containing human genes. From Tibotec NV, it gets automation and bioinformatics capabilities.
