Notes to Editors
About Summit
Summit is an Oxford, UK based drug discovery company with an innovative
technology platform called Seglins(TM) for the discovery of new medicines, a
portfolio of drug programme assets and a commercial strategy of signing multiple
early-stage deals.
Seglin(TM) technology is using new chemistry to access biological drug targets
that cannot be exploited by conventional drug discovery approaches. Summit's
internal research is currently focussed in the high-value therapy areas of
metabolic and infectious diseases and the Company will further exploit the
technology's wider potential through strategic alliances. Summit's programme
portfolio consists of a number of drug programmes that require no further
investment from the Company but have the potential to deliver future upside for
the business.
Summit's commercial strategy focuses on signing multiple early-stage drug
programme and technology platform deals that generate upfront cash, remove
development costs from the Company, and retain valuable upside potential.
Summit is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and trades under
the ticker symbol SUMM. Further information is available at www.summitplc.com.
