DNAPrint Genomics and SeraCare's Genomics Collaborative Combine to Improve Outcome for Ovarian Cancer Treatment "The goal is to identify genetic factors that will enable
physicians to
predict the outcome and efficacy of carboplatin/tamoxifen
treatment, a
standard therapy for victims of breast cancer," stated Hector
J. Gomez,
M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Medical Officer of DNAPrint
genomics.
"Combining Genomics Collaborative's extensive network of
physician-managed
centers with DNAPrint's proprietary genetic testing, the
genetic
characteristics of 200 women will be studied by comparing
those who
responded to a standard carboplatin/tamoxifen regimen for
breast cancer
with those who did not." "We anticipate that the study's findings may enable physicians
to identify
likely non-responders before initiation of carboplatin/tamoxifen
therapy so
that an alternative treatment can be utilized from the outset,"
stated
Kevin Krenitsky, M.D., Senior Vice President and Division
Head of Genomics
Collaborative. "We hope to improve the outcome of treatment
for patients
afflicted with this challenging condition." This marks the second collaborative project between DNAPrint
and Genetics
Collaborative. About SeraCare Life Sciences SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. is a manufacturer and supplier

Biology
and Pharmacogenomics services are also offered externally
to
biopharmaceutical companies. The Company's first theranostic
product is
PT-401, a "Super EPO" (erythropoietin) dimer protein drug
for treatment of
anemia in renal dialysis patients (end stage renal disease).
Pre-clinical
and clinical development of all the company's drug candidates
will benefit
from simulated pre-trials to better design actual trials
and are targeted
to patients with a genetic profile indicating their propensity
to have the
best clinical response. DNAPrint is proud of its continued
dedication to
developing and supplying new technological advances in law
enforcement and
consumer ancestry heritage interests. Please refer to www.dnaprint.com for
