I am not sure for what reason you are labeling this page as advertising.
When the page was first labeled as such I took good notice. Being new to Wikipedia I realized that I had forgotten some useful information like sections on research projects and external links. I also looked very carefully at other companies like Pfizer and InforSense to see their general style and attempted to follow those.
I have included an entry on Biovista because I think they are active in a very important area, at a time when drug development is undergoing a transition in terms of technologies and how new treatments for disease are developed. This company happens to be doing some interesting work on a couple of fronts (e.g database design and text mining as well as predicting unwanted side effects of drugs) and therefore are potentially of interest to a significant number of Wikipedia users. It therefore has significant encyclopedic value since users can obtain a new perspective on drug development following the various scientific areas that the company is working on.
If in your opinion it is a matter of style let me know what you don't like and I will be glad to address it. Even better I'd appreciate your opinion on how the section you do not approve of should be modified.

- Hi there Xtisths. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! What we have here is a failure to understand Wikipedia's notability requirements. "Interesting work" and "potential interest to a significant number of Wikipedia users" are not valid reasons for establishing notability. Can you take a look at ]
- Here we go, there's a few. Incorporate information from the following coverage:
- Article about missing funding (bizjournal)
- Article on $30M investment from Gold Leaf (bnet)
- Same article on WRAL
- I'm not sure these articles can establish "significant coverage", but it's a start. ]
