Description of Business
Our business is focused on acquiring or funding programs and technologies that pharmaceutical companies use to discover and develop medicines. Our business model provides a diversified portfolio of biotech and pharmaceutical product revenue streams that are supported by an efficient and low corporate cost structure. The biotechnology industry is characterized by a binary clinical risk, in that, either a drug candidate is successfully developed and receives regulatory marketing approval, or the drug candidate fails in clinical trials. Our goal is to offer investors an opportunity to participate in the promise of the biotech industry in a profitable and diversified manner while mitigating the binary clinical risk associated with developing a single program. Our business model is focused on funding mid to late-stage drug development in return for economic rights and out-licensing our technology platforms to help partners discover and develop medicines.
