"Based upon the continued growth and support of biosciences and biotechnology within the state, I believe the move to Michigan has increased the Company's opportunities dramatically," states Declan Cooper, Founder and CEO of Insight Sciences. The Company is currently working with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Business Development group and the MichBio organization. "Certain bioscience companies are not as concerned with whether or not something is possible, but whether or not it is practical. Practicality, as defined by Insight Sciences, is the time and cost associated with achieving scientific certainty. The requirements that determine such certainty within biotechnology continue to become more computationally complex," states Mr. Cooper. Insight Sciences' goal is to reduce the processing power bottleneck facing these organizations by integrating hybrid high powered computing clusters, and optimizing algorithmic-intensive computations in a single-chip solution with Altivec technology. The Michigan Life Sciences Corridor is a billion-dollar initiative funded from the state's settlement with the tobacco companies. More detailed information about the Michigan Life Sciences Corridor can be found at http://medc.michigan.org/lifescience . MichBio is a non-profit organization dedicated to driving the growth of the life sciences industry in Michigan. MichBio is affiliated with BIO, the national organization that represents biotechnology companies in the United States and in 33 other nations. Contact MichBio at http://www.michbio.org/ .
