Dave, there are many more cases than SEPR. I picked SEPR as I think LGND may very well be in a position similar to where SEPR was a while ago. Check out LGND's STAT platform description in the annual report (also I posted it here on Sunday - sorry forgot the #). It looks like LGND may be able to make many proven drugs which can now only be taken by injection, available in oral form. This reminds me of the SEPR strategy of "taking proven racemic drugs and isolating the active enantiomer and removing a potentially hazardous enantiomer." LGND may make existing drugs a lot easier to take and lower treatment costs quite significantly.

In LGND's case, it has a lot more depth because it also has a second platform, Intracellular Receptors, which is starting to bear fruit.

I'm glad your long.

Regards,

Walter
