Jan 07th 2013 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on OvaScience entitled "On Fertile Ground". In summary, the report says:
OvaScience is developing novel treatments for female infertility. The company’s near-term investment case effectively rests on the successful development and commercialisation of its lead product, AUGMENT, to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilisation (IVF). If study results are positive and AUGMENT retains its lower-risk regulatory status, we project peak US sales of $160m/year. The technology underpinning AUGMENT and OvaTure (preclinical) is based on the landmark scientific discovery of egg-producing stem cells (egg precursor cells, EggPC) in human ovaries.
