Galapagos Receives EUR2.5 Million IWT Grant For IBD Research

Galapagos NV (Euronext: GLPG) announced today that it has been awarded a EUR2.5 million grant from the Flemish agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT) for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research and development. The goal of this 2.5-year project is to identify new therapeutic compounds for future treatment of IBD patients.

  • Rare Cancers Yield Potential Source Of Tumor Growth

    Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered a genetic mutation that appears to increase production of red blood cells in tumors.

  • A Class Of RNA Molecules Protects Germ Cells From Damage, Penn Vet Researchers Show

    Passing one’s genes on to the next generation is a mark of evolutionary success. So it makes sense that the body would work to ensure that the genes the next generation inherits are exact replicas of the originals.

  • Population Genetics Validates GenomePooling For Cancer

    Population Genetics Technologies Ltd., creator of innovative methods for genetic analyses and biomarker discovery, has successfully completed a pilot study to prove that its GenomePooling method is sensitive and accurate enough to detect even small percentages of gene variants within cancer tissue. This validates the method’s suitability for use in IntReALL 2010, the world’s largest genetic analysis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) relapse cases. ALL is the most common childhood malignant disease.
