Sequana and Boehringer Ingelheim are collaborating to identify the molecular cause of asthma, a disease that afflicts more than 100 million people worldwide.
Sequana has incorporated these skills into a proprietary gene-discovery platform which the company is utilizing to determine the genetic basis of asthma and other common diseases such as diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, schizophrenia and manic depression (bipolar disorder).
Sequana is also entitled to certain payments contingent upon achievement of certain research milestones as well as royalties on the sale of therapeutic products that may result from the alliance.

 Cancer Genetics Joint Venture Formed By Memorial Sloan-Kettering And Sequana
Sequana and Memorial Sloan-Kettering will focus on the majority of cancers caused by "somatic" mutations -- non-hereditary defects occurring in the genes of the body's cells that increase the risk for developing cancer.
Sequana and Memorial Sloan-Kettering believe that the identification of gene defects in the early stage of cancer and relating such gene defects to the subsequent course of treatment may provide tests that could predict how tumors will progress and respond to different therapies.
Sequana Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SQNA) is a leading genomics company that uses industrial-scale gene finding technologies and advanced biology to uncover the genetic cause of common human diseases.

 Gene Sleuths Seek Asthma's Secrets on Remote Island
     Sequana is one of eight public U.S. biotech companies dedicated to prospecting for valuable genes among the roughly 100,000 in the complete human set, or genome.
Sequana counters that the islanders, who are English-speaking British subjects, were given detailed forms describing the study, and only people who freely gave informed consent participated.
They worry about "wasting" vast resources duplicating Sequana's efforts when they could be searching different chromosome areas for other candidate genes, said Susan Banks-Schlegel, a cell biologist at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and a member of the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Asthma, a group of researchers at nine U.S. institutions.
