Date:3/25/2009

to apply our antibody technology to a range of novel targets that stem from HGS's genomic discovery research," said Nicholas Nicolaides, Ph.D., President and CEO of Morphotek. "This agreement is a continuation of our business model of leveraging access to targets from collaborators that have identified them using their internal expertise/technologies, applying Morphotek's technologies to develop lead antibodies and then through active collaboration with our partners validating the therapeutic potential of our antibodies in preclinical and if warranted clinical studies."

About the HGS New Targets Initiative

HGS has a rich heritage of scientific discovery that has produced a large intellectual property estate and a library of thousands of therapeutic and diagnostic targets. Over the past three years, HGS has conducted a careful review and selected approximately 50 targets for further research and potential development. HGS plans to develop the selected targets through co-development or research collaborations, including the agreement with Morphotek announced today, as well as through its own internal research.
