a) Affymetrix
Affymetrix Genechip technology was invented in the late 1980's by a team of scientists led by Stephen P.A Fodor, Ph.D. The theory behind their work was revolutionary - a notion that semiconductor manufacturing techniques could be united with advances in combinatorial chemistry to bulid vast amounts of biological data on a small glass chip. Today, these arrays were considered the gold standard tool for analyzing complex genetic information and are used by hundreds of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrichemical, diagnostics and consumer products companies as well as academic, government and other non-profit research institutes to analyze the relationship between genes and human health. www.affymetrix.com
