Response Genetics,Inc. (RGI) was founded in 1999 to leverage breakthrough, patented technology from USC for the “extraction of genetic information from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded clinical trial samples.” Until that time, RNA was only available from fresh frozen specimens; it was not possible to extract meaningful genetic information from diagnostic specimens fixed and stored in paraffin before the discovery of RGI's patented method. They success in developing this technology allows us to deliver tangible benefits to pharmaceutical companies and to create new platforms to support the industry with more efficient, cost-effective analysis of clinical trial samples, leading to the development of more “personalized” patient therapies.
