Abstract:
CuraGen Scientists have developed a deep preclinical pipeline of potential protein, antibody and small molecule therapeutics by integrating expertise in molecular biology with a proprietary suite of functional genomic technologies. One important application of functional genomics is in the area of pharmacogenomics, which has been a critical component in CuraGen's drug discovery and development efforts. By identifying safety and efficacy issues early in the discovery process and by gaining a better understanding of a drug's mechanism of action, CuraGen scientists are able to make more informed decisions about which drugs are the most appropriate to advance through the preclinical and clinical development stages.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...
