ComGenex Changes Its Name to AMRI Hungary; Full Range of AMRI Services Now Available to ComGenex Customers



    ComGenex, Inc. has changed its name to AMRI Hungary. The
    name change results from the acquisition of ComGenex by U.S.-based
    Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRI) in February 2006.
    Located in Budapest, AMRI Hungary has become the European center
    for AMRI, a global pharmaceutical research, development and
    manufacturing company with a full range of integrated services--from
    the identification of hit compounds, to powerful medicinal chemistry
    SAR optimization, to the production of pharmaceutical ingredients for
    clinical and commercial use.
    Through the acquisition, clients of AMRI Hungary now have access
    to the comprehensive services provided by AMRI. Moreover, the
    integration of AMRI's research sites in the United States, Europe, and
    Asia provides the company's customers with a flexible range of
    services, capabilities and cost structures.
    As part of the AMRI brand, AMRI Hungary integrates innovative,
    early stage drug discovery technologies, including proprietary methods
    in the area of library synthesis, compound collections and lead
    discovery. In the future, AMRI Hungary plans to expand its
    capabilities in medicinal chemistry and SAR development.
    The first tangible advantage of AMRI Hungary's addition to the
    global AMRI network is the availability of AMRI Hungary's new,
    expanded and integrated lead-seeking library--which is more diverse
    than before and includes new core structures.
    Albany Molecular Research, Inc. is a global drug discovery company
    that provides chemistry services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology
    companies and conducts its own proprietary R&D programs. For more
