My client is the leader in informational genomics - the integration of bioinformatics with genomics tools to accelerate and improve the drug discovery process.

Their solution is developing DNA microarray gene expression information. Their technologies and
services permit researchers to fully explore the diverse causes and consequences of changes in
gene expression, and to focus on those cellular processes that are specifically affected by
exposure to pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or genetic engineering.

The company was launched in 1997 to design and implement DNA microarray gene
expression technologies and products and to overcome the severe problems that limit the
discovery and effective development of compounds used in the pharmaceutical and
agricultural industries. Two years after beginning business, my client successfully deployed its first commercially available bioinformatics system called "Expression Data Analysis System". The company's technology and patent portfolio were enhanced by its purchase of a
Bioscience company in 1999 thus laid the foundation for a development and investment
partnership with a subsidiary company of the Hewlett-Packard Company.

Subject: [PipingDesign] Ad Page Revision - Comments?

<a href="http://www.PipingDesign.com/advertise.html">http://www.PipingDesign.com/advertise.html</a>

Here's a view of what the contents of the newly-revised advertise.html page says. Does anyone have any comments, stuff to add or tips for signing advertisers/sponsors (or even better, a good marketing contact that is willing to work on commission)?

And, yes, I know part of it is gratuitous regarding you listmembers, but anyone that is still here probably deserves the title of "a prominent member
of the professional piping community".

Any thoughts (nobody ever looks at the advertising page anyway)?

Paul
