More the latter, as the only thing they're talking about in detail is in vitro stuff. They're not the only ones using lipid conjugation, and it has its limitations. Perhaps they are addressing some of them. I'd have to run off to their website and track down some abstracts, etc. Don't have time for that now, as I'm back from a trip with a backlog of more important research and other stuff to do. So pick up that ball and run with it, if you're so inclined. Worth keeping an eye on them, as I hadn't heard of them before.

Cheers, Tuck

>>Atugen Strikes Contract Research Deal with Eisai Subsidiary
By a GenomeWeb staff reporter

NEW YORK, July 8 (GenomeWeb News) - Atugen said this week that it has signed a contract research agreement with Eisai London Research Laboratories, a subsidiary of Japanese drug maker Eisai.

Under the deal, Atugen will use its gene-silencing technologies to validate and optimize undisclosed drug targets provided by Eisai. Additional terms, including the financials, were not disclosed.

This is Atugen's second research agreement this year with a Japanese pharmaceutical company. The company also announced a multi-year agreement with Sankyo on May 17.<<
