of compound mechanisms of action (MOA) and biomarkers of safety and efficacy. Its scientists leverage the system and methodologies for internal research programs as well as research partnerships with pharmaceutical companies in order to streamline drug discovery and development and improve clinical trial design and implementation.

Dr. Elliston added, "We have initially focused on three core disease areas at Genstruct: oncology, metabolic disorders and inflammation. These are all key areas of research for The Biomarker Consortium as well. We believe that the identification of molecular mechanisms and mechanistic biomarkers in these disease areas through systems biology approaches will ultimately lead to better decisions, lower product failure rates, optimal clinical trial design and execution and faster FDA product approval."
