Harold,

That is correct. Dr. Tracy suggested the following explanation about a year ago in a CNS regeneration review.

>>The sonic hedgehog program had been partnered with Biogen, but in mid-2000, Biogen suddenly surrendered its interest, returning the rights to Curis. This usually means either research failure or a retooling of corporate priorities. In this case, what we have heard was that Biogen's R&D group liked the sonic hedgehog program, but Biogen management did not like the fact that Biogen's ex-CEO James Tobin was a member of the new Curis Board, and chose to sever ties.>>

Harold, LGND is on sale today. I don't think this market looks past its short term nose. The value of Avinza has not yet been recognized by Ligand shareholders or the analysts who are busy downgrading Ligand today.
