Eolas' mission is to develop leading-edge information technologies in data analysis, visualization, collaboration and networking that enhance the quality of life for everyone. Eolas focuses its research and development activities in the field of bioinformatics to invent and validate solutions to fundamental problems by creating technologies of broad applicability, and seeks to return value to its shareholders by commercializing these technologies through strategic alliances, licensing and spin offs.

MANAGEMENT

Chairman - Dr. Michael D. Doyle

Dr. Doyle is Eolas' founder and architect of Eolas' research and development efforts. Dr. Doyle received his PhD. in Biology from the University of Illinois - Urbana. Prior to founding Eolas, Dr. Doyle served as Director for the Center for Knowledge Management at the University of California - San Francisco. While at the UCSF Medical Center, Dr. Doyle led a research team that developed fundamental web technologies that resulted in the 906' patent, which covers the use of applets and plug-ins in web browsers. To assist the University of California in commercializing the 906' patent, Dr. Doyle founded Eolas and he has led Eolas since its establishment in 1994. Dr. Doyle has successfully guided Eolas through several rounds of financing, major litigation with Microsoft, and the development of several key technologies. Dr. Doyle's seminal research in next-generation Web applications, 3-D biomedical visualization, and morpho-spatial genomic activity mapping has led to new technologies that have gained worldwide recognition. His transient-key cryptographic timestamp innovations solve previously intractable problems created by the recent national HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, and have been adopted in the x9.95 ANSI National Standard for secure timestamps. His advances in gene expression mapping technologies are spearheading the creation of the new field of biomedical research called “spatial genomics.”

Chief Executive Officer - Mark C. Swords

Mr. Swords joined Eolas as Chief Operating Officer in January, 2006, and became Chief Executive Officer in September of 2007.  He came to Eolas from the international law firm of Baker & McKenzie, where he was a partner and served as the practice group chair for Baker & McKenzie's Chicago office corporate and securities practice group. Mr. Swords joined Baker & McKenzie in 1992 and has served as a member of Baker & McKenzie's global management team. As Baker & McKenzie's first Chief Knowledge Officer, he developed the firm's knowledge management strategy and built the firm's global knowledge management organization. In addition to Mr. Swords' management experience, Mr. Swords brings with him a broad set of transactional skills. He developed a sophisticated corporate, commercial and compliance practice in which he advised U.S. and non-U.S. clients in several industries on a wide variety of mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and commercial transactions.

Chief Legal Officer - James L. Stetson

Mr. Stetson joined Eolas as Chief Legal Officer in January, 2006 from the international law firm of Baker & McKenzie, where he was a partner in Baker & McKenzie's Information Technologies Practice Group. Mr. Stetson joined Baker & McKenzie in 1993 and has served as the practice group chair of its Information Technologies Practice Group. Mr. Stetson has practiced in the high technology area for over twenty years and he has developed a broad set of transactional skills in growing a sophisticated licensing and outsourcing practice.

OPERATIONS

Eolas is a research and development company with a proven track record of generating fundamental technologies. The Eolas management team has significant experience in licensing, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances: arenas that are critical as Eolas looks to commercialize new and existing technologies.

With respect to generating new technologies, Eolas will focus its R&D efforts on the technologies discussed under the section entitled "Research" By focussing Eolas' R&D effort on the solution to very specific problems in the bioinformatics area, we feel that Eolas will continue to develop technologies of broader applicability.
