#1732852026417192-455: The creation of a new field of drug discovery, notably the focus of startup companies and scientific conferences. The DNA analyzers developed at Illumina, which was co-founded by Czarnik in 1998, use the patented technology of multiplex decoding of array sensors with microspheres to read genetic codes. As a result, the analyzers have reduced the cost of sequencing a human genome. In 2009, Czarnik submitted 240 patent applications covering
