Rosetta Biosoftware has announced that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has purchased a license for its Rosetta Resolver® system to conduct research on the toxicogenomic response of animal models and protected marine species to marine biotoxins.
The Resolver system will be used by NOAA's Marine Biotoxins Program at the Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research (CCEHBR) in Charleston, South Carolina.
As part of its mission, the Center carries out research and provides analytical services to evaluate the health effects of algal toxins on marine animals and humans.
"The Resolver system will be a key element of our microarray facility at CCEHBR," said Jimmy Ryan, Molecular Biologist, who is leading this research element within NOAA's Marine Biotoxins Program.
"It will help us characterize the global transcriptional response of human cell lines and other models to marine neurotoxins."
"These efforts at CCEHBR are targeted towards alleviating the adverse effects that marine biotoxins have on people and the environment through functional genomic and toxicogenomic studies."
The Marine Biotoxins Program at CCEHBR targets its research at harmful algal blooms (HABs) and the potent toxins produced by them.
"The Rosetta Resolver system is a versatile and reliable solution to conduct toxicogenomics studies, determine biological mechanisms, and identify biomarkers," said Yelena Shevelenko, vice president and general manager of Rosetta Biosoftware.
"We are excited to see the functionality of the Resolver system expand to the important area of marine biotoxin research, conducted by this comprehensive national program."
