NOKOMIS, Fla. -- (Business Wire)

Rainbow Coral Corp. (OTCBB: RBCC), a biotech company focused on delivering new medical technologies and innovations, today reports its anticipation of partnering with a cutting-edge genome-mapping facility in Houston in the next few weeks.

The genetic testing sector is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global biotech industry, with some market experts expecting it to reach $2.2 billion by 2017. The cutting-edge science of pharmacogenomics is a field of study resulting from the Human Genome Project that seeks to help doctors assess genetic variations in patients in order to create more effective, optimized drug treatment plans.

RBCC sees it as the future of medicine.

“This is the next evolution in personalized medicine,” said RBCC CEO Patrick Brown. “Important differences in drug metabolism and response from person to person are often rooted in our genes. By studying a patient’s genotype, doctors can eliminate the trial-and-error approach to tailoring a safer, more efficient and more effective drug treatment plan.”

RBCC is turning its full attention to the exploration of new promising opportunities now that the company will no longer be partnering with Amarantus Biosciences, which has elected to pursue other opportunites. RBCC wishes Amarantus much success moving forward, and remains open to future partnering opportunities with the company.

In addition to its pharmacogenomics talks, RBCC is also currently working on a joint venture agreement with a privately held drug delivery company that could soon make local delivery of biologic agents and small molecules safer, more effective and more convenient than ever before.
