Helfand Thursday, Apr 9 1998 12:52PM ET Reply # of 27305 MB- I'm interested in Nanogen, a small biotech Co. in San Diego, that will probably go public this week. I think their science is good. Mgmt team seems OK, some of the principals started LGND. How does one go about assessing the potential value of such an outfit? Is it better to wait and see how the market reacts or jump in at the IPO? Thanx, Marty BTW- I think it's Morgan Stanley handling the IPO.
