About BG Medicine BG Medicine is pioneering the commercial application of Systems Pharmacology pharmacology, study of the changes produced in living animals by chemical substances, especially the actions of drugs, substances used to treat disease. Systematic investigation of the effects of drugs based on animal experimentation and the use of isolated and , which is based on scientific advances in the Systems Biology Systems biology, a field of study in the biosciences, focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems. Particularly from 2000 onwards, the term is used widely in the biosciences, and in a variety of contexts. field. Its advanced proprietary platform enables novel paths to new medicines through molecular fingerprinting fingerprinting Act of taking an impression of a person's fingerprint. Because each person's fingerprints are unique, fingerprinting is used as a method of identification, especially in police investigations. of transcript, proteomic and metabolomic data combined with powerful bioinformatics Using computers in biological research to analyze or predict the composition of molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, etc.) and model biologic systems. Bioinformatics is most prominent in the Human Genome Project, which has recorded the three billion chemical base pairs that make up the integration to produce Systems Response Profiles(TM). These profiles, which combine information from multiple physiological compartments In developmental biology, compartments are fields of cells of distinct cell lineage, cell affinity, and genetic identity. In a developing organ, all cells within a compartment possess similar affinities, and so intermingle with each other. and often include thousands of distinct analyte levels, have enabled unprecedented molecular characterization of disease states and drug responses. BG Medicine applies its novel approach through collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies. Founded in 2000 and located in Waltham, Mass., BG Medicine is backed by Flagship Ventures and Gilde Investment Management. For more information see www.bg-medicine.com. |
