William,

I thought the thread might enjoy the following peculiar question and answer. I recently emailed Stressgen IR person Michelle with a few questions and here is one of them followed by her reply.

Stressgen CEO Richard Glickman was scheduled to talk at some conference about creative financing for biotechs. Michael Milken has prostate cancer, is looking to help research into this condition and has lots of money. Stressgen's list of product candidates in the last annual report now includes prostate cancer. I read in a biotech discussion thread the concept of a wealthy individual handing over, say, 50 million dollars to a biotech for action on a specific indication in exchange for getting a compassionate use of the therapy. What is Stressgen's position on such creative financing mechanisms?

StressGen explores various financing options on a regular basis and pursues those which best fit with the company's overall strategy.
