| Avalon Pharmaceuticals business is discovering and developing novel drugs . Avalon is focused on oncology drugs for its own portfolio, but the AvalonRxTM Drug Discovery Engine can be used to discover drugs in essentially all therapeutic areas . Recently, we have initiated a program to harness the power of RNAi gene disruption signatures for the isolation of drugs against previously "intractable" targets. |

| Our AvalonRxTM Drug Discovery Engine is a powerful tool for the efficient discovery and characterization of "hits" in vitro and in vivo, optimization of hits to lead compounds, and development of drugs. The Engine monitors changes in cellular gene expression which in turn provides a strongly predictive foundation for identifying better medicines . Avalon's Molecular Cytogenetics program provides part of the fuel for the Engine strattera online. It has led to the development of an extensive database of chromosomal DNA amplifications in breast, colon and lung cancer cells viagra. This has and will continue to lead to the identification of novel intracellular and cell surface targets for oncology drug discovery at Avalon and by our partners . Avalon's oncology pipeline currently has multiple products with novel mechanisms of action and also against targets previously considered "intractable". |
