14 September 1999

Curagen Corp, the Connecticut, USA-based genomics drug discoverycompany, has completed a private placement worth $15 million, having issued 1.5 million shares of its common stock to funds managed by Pequot Capital Management Inc. The latter's chairman, Arthur Samberg, claimed that CuraGen is a strong investment opportunity, "given the way they have uniquely integrated powerful genomic and information technologies."

Jonathan Rothberg, CuraGen's chief executive, said the firm will use the funds to further advance its technology platform, "propel the development of the company's proprietary drug pipeline," and push forward the field of personalized medicine.
