EDITOR'S CORNER
Dealmaking has been relatively slow so far in 2008. However, there is increasing activity as both bigpharma and biotechs start to announce some interesting collaborations.
Hot off the press is the news that Novartis is to buy a stake in Nestle's Alcon Laboratories for $39billion.
Also of interest is Takeda's global alliance with Cell genesys for development and commercialization of GVAX immunotherapy for prostate cancer.
Our new report Distribution Agreements in Biopharma provides comprehensive understanding and unprecedented access to the distribution agreements entered into by the worlds leading biopharma companies.
The report complements our other recent reports: Merger and Acquisitions Agreements in Biopharma and Co-promotion and Co-marketing Agreements in Biopharma.
You can also view the leading deals so far this year in our updated Scorecards.
Until next time - happy dealmaking!
