This will be Innovation Works' largest, single investment to date. Automated Cell's integrated platform of biological, automation, and bioinformatic technologies provides analysis and understanding of protein function more quickly and precisely than other existing technologies. The information that Automated Cell is able to provide its pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients will enable them to improve their therapeutic development productivity. This investment will help Automated Cell become a leader in today's race to use protein data to diagnose disease and develop new drugs. Last year's race to map the human genome has provided incredible insight into the order in which the building blocks of life occur in human cells.
Proteins do that, so the real race is just beginning.
