        <Explanation>IN FEBRUARY 2012, THE HAMNER INSTITUTES FOR HEALTH SCIENCES (THE HAMNER) AND ALEXANDRIA REAL ESTATE EQUITIES, INC. (ALEXANDRIA) FORMALLY ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCH OF THE RTP COLLABORATION CONSORTIUM, A NEW AND HIGHLY UNIQUE HUB THAT WILL BRING TOGETHER NORTH CAROLINA'S WORLD-RENOWNED UNIVERSITIES, INNOVATIVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES, AND LEADING INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO HELP SHAPE RTP AS A KEY GLOBAL CENTER FOR LIFE SCIENCE INNOVATION. WITH THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE BETWEEN ALEXANDRIA AND THE HAMNER, THE RTP COLLABORATION CONSORTIUM IS POISED TO BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM FOR THE BROAD AND DIVERSE LIFE SCIENCE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER TO TRANSLATE INNOVATIVE DISCOVERIES INTO SAFE AND EFFECTIVE PRODUCTS THAT ADDRESS THE MOST CRITICAL INTERNATIONAL HEALTHCARE CHALLENGES AND HELP RELIEVE THE ECONOMIC BURDEN OF DISEASE ON SOCIETY. IN APRIL 2012, THE HAMNER ANNOUNCED THAT FOUR SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED WITH AWARDS FROM THE SOCIETY OF TOXICOLOGY, A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO CREATING A SAFER AND HEALTHIER WORLD BY ADVANCING THE SCIENCE OF TOXICOLOGY AT THEIR 51ST ANNUAL MEETING THAT WAS HELD MARCH 11-15 IN SAN FRANCISCO. IN MAY 2012, AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND A TEAM OF SCIENTISTS AND INVESTIGATORS FROM SIX LEADING RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE HAMNER, ANNOUNCED THE AWARDING OF A $6 MILLION GRANT FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TO PIONEER TRANSFORMATIVE RESEARCH IN TOXICOLOGY. FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT COMES FROM THE COMMON FUND'S NIH DIRECTOR'S TRANSFORMATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS PROGRAM, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EXCEPTIONALLY INNOVATIVE, HIGH-RISK, ORIGINAL AND/OR UNCONVENTIONAL RESEARCH THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE OR OVERTURN FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS. IN JUNE 2012, THE HAMNER ANNOUNCED THE FORMATION OF THE DILI-SIM INITIATIVE, A PRE-COMPETITIVE MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIP THAT IT IS SPEARHEADING TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER MODELING PLATFORM TO MAKE DRUGS SAFER. THE GOALS OF THE INITIATIVE ARE TO IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY, REDUCE THE NEED FOR ANIMAL TESTING, AND REDUCE THE COSTS AND TIME NECESSARY TO DEVELOP NEW DRUGS. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE DILI-SIM INITIATIVE TO MAKE THE MODEL, IN THE FORM OF DILISYM SOFTWARE, BROADLY AVAILABLE SO THAT IT MAY BE USED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA), AND OTHER ENTITIES IN ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY. CURRENT INDUSTRY MEMBERS INCLUDE AMGEN, ASTRAZENECA, BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB, ELI LILLY AND COMPANY, GLAXOSMITHKLINE, GILEAD, JANSSEN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC, MERCK, MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA, NOVARTIS, PFIZER, AND SANOFI. IN SEPTEMBER 2012, IN ALIGNMENT WITH ITS VISION AND COMMITMENT TO TRANSLATIONAL LIFE SCIENCES TRAINING, THE HAMNER INSTRUCTED A ONE WEEK COURSE FOR 40 PARTICIPANTS FROM MONDAY, SEPT. 24 THROUGH FRIDAY, SEPT. 28 THAT COVERED THE APPLICATION OF COMPUTATIONAL MODELING PARADIGMS TO HUMAN HEALTH ASSESSMENTS. THE COURSE FEATURED COMPREHENSIVE LECTURES AND EXTENSIVE HANDS-ON COMPUTER MODELING PRACTICE, AND WAS DESIGNED TO SERVE A VARIETY OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING INDUSTRIAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND REGULATORY SCIENTISTS, TOXICOLOGISTS AND RESEARCH SCIENTISTS, AND INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN PROMOTING THE USE OF ALTERNATIVES TO LIVE ANIMAL TESTING. IN OCTOBER 2012, THE HAMNER ANNOUNCED THAT A TEAM OF RESEARCHERS WITHIN ITS INSTITUTE FOR CHEMICAL SAFETY SCIENCES, ALONG WITH COLLABORATORS AT THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, HAD RECEIVED THE 2012 SIMCYP ACADEMIC IVIVE AWARD FOR MOST INFORMATIVE SCIENTIFIC REPORT AT THE SIMCYP CONSORTIUM MEETING HELD SEPT 17 IN SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND. DR. BARBARA A. WETMORE, A HAMNER SENIOR RESEARCH INVESTIGATOR AND LEAD AUTHOR OF "INTEGRATION OF DOSIMETRY, EXPOSURE, AND HIGH-THROUGHPUT SCREENING DATA IN CHEMICAL TOXICITY ASSESSMENT," ACCEPTED THE AWARD AND PRESENTED THE REPORT FINDINGS TO THE CONSORTIUM MEMBERS. IN DECEMBER 2012, THE HAMNER ANNOUNCED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PRE-COMPETITIVE, MULTI-ORGANIZATION PARTNERSHIP DESIGNED TO PROMOTE INNOVATIVE TOXICITY TESTING RESEARCH. THE HAMNER AND BROWN UNIVERSITY WILL CONDUCT THE RESEARCH FOR THE SO-NAMED INTEGRATED BIOLOGY INITIATIVE. PARTNERS SPONSORING THE RESEARCH INCLUDE AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES INC., ILLUMINA, DOW CHEMICAL, DOW CORNING CORPORATION, EXXONMOBIL, UNILEVER AND CROPLIFE AMERICA MEMBER COMPANIES. THE LONG-RANGE RESEARCH INITIATIVE (LRI) OF THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL SUPPORTED EARLIER STAGES OF THIS RESEARCH.</Explanation>
