To the Editor:

As CEO of the companies involved, I would like to bring to the attention of your readers several inaccuracies in a News article in the March issue entitled 'Resuscitated deCODE refocuses on diagnostics'1. The article erroneously reports that deCODE (Reykjavik, Iceland) “...already shuttered its Emerald Biosciences and Emerald Biostructures drug discovery operations in Bainbridge Island, Washington....” In fact, both Emerald BioSystems (which was misspelled as Emerald Biosciences in the original story) and Emerald BioStructures have never closed—they are vibrant, growing businesses.
