Stephen Friend, one of the co-founders of the late Rosetta Inpharmatics,
is back in South Lake Union with a new startup,
Sage Bionetworks, only this time the goal is a not-for-profit "open access platform available in the public domain." The initial team includes several former Rosetta employees.
In related news, contract research organization Covance has hired 75 to 80 former Rosetta employees and is moving into 401 Terry Ave N. Covance CEO Joe Herring said he'll "do a few Cascade hikes while he’s out" but I'm not sure if he means the hill up from Terry.
