SEPRACOR (one of Peter's favorites). CHIRON and MILLENIUM. The other two ring a bell, but a faint one.

Remicade, PCR, IL-2, Lunesta (ooops), Velcade, others. The only loser there that I see, science-wise? I don't remember anything useful from CORR, but it was munched, ironically, by MLNM. So the only loser on the list from an investment stand? And I might be wrong about even that..... SEPR.

CHIR gulped by Novartis. CNTO is JNJ. MLNM a big part of Takeda.

In general, the assumption that most public biotechs fail? Wrong.

edit: As you'll probably remember, in-house MLNM should be defined as one big disappointment, "science-wise", from beginning to end. I was a fan. Ugh.
