BAYER SIGNS GENETIC TECHNOLOGY DEAL WITH UK FIRMS

June 29, 2005

Bayer HealthCare's diagnostics division has entered into an agreement with two British firms to develop a technology that could help predict the genetic likelihood of disease. Bayer HealthCare, a subsidiary of German drug and chemical maker Bayer, said it would also use the technology to develop tests that could better target the treatment of disease by matching it to a person's unique genetic make-up.
