12/24/2005FDA’s Presents To Biotech
Biotech and specialty pharmas found lots of shiny new products under the tree in 2005. In fact, the FDA’s been at least as generous this year as it was the last two.


11/30/2005The Monoclonal Maze
Monoclonal antibody developers often must navigate a path through an intricate web of patent claims to reach their goal.


10/05/2005Biotech’s Old Soldiers
Countless biotech companies have been founded over the years, but few old-timers remain today. They may have marched through the decades scoring financial and regulatory victories, but in the end those hard-won assets flagged them for acquisition.


8/26/2005Atopy’s No Utopia
Atopic dermatitis usually begins in early childhood, often presages hay fever or asthma, and is ever more common. What’s going on to stop all the itching?


7/28/2005Sentries Of The Immune System
Like lookouts of old, stationed at the castle walls to spot invaders and sound the alarm, toll-like receptors serve as the immune system’s early warning system.


6/17/2005Startup Maestros Of Academia
Startups based on university technologies do not always begin with entrepreneurs shopping for technologies around which to build companies. Sometimes it is the universities themselves that take the first step.


5/23/2005Serono’s Global Aspirations
Swiss biotech Serono, best known for its expertise in protein-based therapies, is developing a broad network of international alliances to help it bolster its pipeline in traditional areas and add skills in new ones.


4/22/2005Pharma's Buying Spree
While big pharmas sign hundreds of partnerships with biotech firms, they very rarely buy them outright. Most years, there are only 5-7 such deals. But thanks to a confluence of factors, M&A activity could soar this year.


3/03/2005Tracking The Progress of RNA Drugs
Antisense, aptamers, ribozymes: Firms developing RNA drugs have trekked a long, often lonely, trail in their quest for new therapies. That's changing rapidly, though, as those with gene-silencing skills join the pack.


1/18/2005Investors Fuel Biotech’s Future
Stoked by fresh cash injections, biotech and specialty pharmas roared through 2004 full throttle. Companies logged nearly $21 billion in new capital for the year – enough to break all previous records, save one.
