>>Who are the current biotech analysts at Morgan Stanley<<

>>CHICAGO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley on Monday cut its 12-month price target on Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NasdaqNM:VRTX - News) to $34 from $40, but maintained its "overweight" rating on the biotechnology firm.

Morgan Stanley analysts Ian Somaiya and Caroline Copithorne, in a research note, said they raised revenue forecasts for AIDS drug VX-175, also known as 908, based on strong late-stage clinical data.

The also said they expect Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Vertex and partner Aventis (Paris:AVEP.PA - News) to start a broader clinical program for experimental rheumatoid arthritis drug pralnacasan.

"We believe this should support a more robust launch, but the size of the program should push approval and launch to 2006," they said in a research note.<<

And just for fun, I see MS has started Weight Watchers with . . . Overweight!
