Affymetrix® is a pioneer in creating breakthrough tools that drive the genomic revolution. The Affymetrix GeneChip® technology was invented in the late 1980's by a team of scientists led by Stephen P.A. Fodor, Ph.D. The theory behind their work was revolutionary - a notion that semiconductor manufacturing techniques could be united with advances in combinatorial chemistry to build vast amounts of biological data on a glass chip. Affymetrix scientists have been dedicated to developing innovative products that provide researchers with a more complete view of the genome. These products continue to accelerate genetic research and enable scientists to develop diagnostics and tailor treatments for individual patients by identifying and measuring the genetic information associated with complex diseases.
Affymetrix has headquarters in Santa Clara, CA USA with offices worldwide. Today, these arrays are used by the world's top pharmaceutical, diagnostic and biotechnology companies in addition to academic, government and other non-profit research institutes to analyse the relationship between genes and human health.
Affymetrix continues to expand their portfolio of integrated products and services. With more than 8,500 peer-reviewed publications using Affymetrix GeneChip® arrays, Affymetrix is the gold standard in microarray technology.
