About
Signal Pharmaceuticals was a San Diego, California-based biotechnology company focused on discovering new classes of drugs that regulate genes associated with disease through signal transduction research. Co-founded by UCSD researcher Michael Karin, the company pursued a novel approach to drug discovery based on the regulation of gene expression — targeting signaling pathways that control disease-related genes rather than the genes themselves. Signal Pharmaceuticals conducted research into IkB Kinase (IKK) and related inflammatory pathway targets relevant to cancer and immune disorders. The company was acquired by Celgene Corporation and rebranded as Celgene Research San Diego.
