Arrowhead Research - Improving focus
Aug 15th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Arrowhead Research entitled "Improving Focus". In summary, the report says:
The 2011 acquisition of Roche’s RNAi (RNA interference) business makes Arrowhead one of the leaders in RNAi and delivery solutions for RNAi. The recent acquisition of Alvos Therapeutics adds a library of homing peptides, also aimed at developing targeted therapeutics, with or without the use of RNAi. This will speed up development of new projects both for partnering and in-house development. The most advanced projects in-house are a first-in-class obesity compound and an RNAi compound for solid tumours (both Phase I), valued at $60m. The value of the platform technology is not included in this figure.
