The biotech research firm's HySpec and HyNet are high-throughput systems for protein expression, purification, and analysis.

The company has been focusing on cancer research, working with groups such as Columbia University and the Tower Cancer Research Foundation to study advanced solid tumors. Myriad Genetics spun off Prolexys, which was founded in 2001, as a private company in 2003.
