I'd be very interested, as long as I don't have to do any work. :-)

I don't know anything about how the inhibitors actually work, what their mechanism of action is proposed to be.

CytRx, bite my tongue, is also active here. Given their history, I doubt that the effort is backed by great science.

We know that VRTX work is always based on sound science. Since Xenova hired Mike Ross from Arris to start their U.S. subsidiary, one has to assume that they also place a premium on decent modeling (although I don't know much about discrimination at the parent). I assume that anything from BCHE would be top-notch, but I don't actually know much about their scientists.

A related area of interest could be new chemotherapies that are purported to work in cells that are multi-drug resistant (e.g., that in development by MGI Pharma?).

Playing Peter............ Thanks, Miljenko.
