Biochem -
I like the progress they have made during the last year.
Here are their milestones (taken from the annual report)

- Zeffix has disappointed first but is now gaining strong momentum
- dOTC came back from a near death experience as a single enantiomer (-) dOTC (Hello Sepracor!)
- Niche drug PACIS approved for bladder cancer
- BCH-3963 (pain control) and Toxacitabine (cancer)in Phase II
- An ambitous recombinant protein vaccine program with the Canadian government kicking in CAN $80M
- A stock buyback and new collaborations have reduced dependency from Glaxo/Wellcome
- sold the noncore diagnostics and some vaccine operations
- investments in genomics ventures pay rich dividends

I still think that the Phase II pipeline looks somewhat weak but Biochem clearly has made significant progress in developing its business.
I hope this post is not considered a spam :-).
