Henry,

As a biochemist you must have an opinion about companies doing research on antibiotic resistant bacteria. I know this is not in LGND's bag, but , from my professional experience, I think this may be the most immediate threat/public concern in the biotech area at the present time. Companies in this area also have the advantage of a greater relationship between in vitro and in vivo research.

The best I've found so far is MCDE..It's price appears to be artificially low due to one time market conditions (window for venture capital to sell). Do you have an opinion on this stock or a better one in this field.? They have over $4 cash per share for a stock selling a $8.
A low cash burn with a dynamic research team.

Comments appreciated John O

Henry,

Do you know what happened to the phase II Targretin diabetes
trial in Europe? I was just looking through the press releases
and came across a release from March 1997 saying that a study
would be completed in 6 months. There was also a reference
to that study in another press release from May 1997. I don't
see anything after that, however.
