“Discover the discovery”

The Opportunity Fatty liver diseases have been linked to diabetes and obesity; affect

6 million people in the US and approximately 10-20% of Americans have significant liver fat content

Global drug discovery market was $41.4 billion in 2012, with high throughput screening comprising approximately 30% of the market; this equates to a $1.3 billion market segment to be tapped within the fatty liver drug market

A potential drug costs between $55 million to $1.3 billion to bring to market; contracting the drug discovery phase will save time and money for companies
