INTERNATIONAL -- EUROPEAN BUSINESS

Here Come Europe's Biotech Brides
(int'l edition)

Their R&D is luring more big drugmakers into alliances
CLUSTERS. The European biotechs excel at certain
specialties, according to Ernst & Young. Companies
such as Britain's Cantab Pharmaceuticals PLC and
France's Transgene are developing gene-therapy
technology to produce better therapeutic vaccines.
Transgene, for instance, has a 10-year, $77 million
contract to provide technology to Schering-Plough
Corp. for gene-based vaccines to fight cancer. Other
companies, such as Britain's PowderJect
Pharmaceuticals PLC, which licensed its needle-less
injection system to Britain's Glaxo Wellcome PLC for
$283 million last year, are focusing on the technology
used to deliver these DNA vaccines.

I didn't remember that 283 million dollar figure Galxo paid to Powderject!! That's only about thirty times our present market cap!! And it requires every drug to be reformulated!
