HDAC Inhibitors are Promising Targets in Drug Development

Sep. 4, 2012
By Peter Winter
Since the beginning of the year a significant amount of research data has been reported on histone deacetylases (HDACs), the cellular enzymes whose functions include turning gene expression off and on. They are considered to be among the most promising targets in drug development for cancer therapy. New HDAC inhibitors are emerging and are actively being tested in the clinic.

ATM Financing Provides Effective Access to Cash

Aug. 20, 2012
By Peter Winter
Biotechnology companies have an insatiable appetite for cash to fuel their drug development programs. However during the past several years, apart from the industry's "blue chip" companies, the majority of biotechs have been forced into a strict diet as financing has become more difficult and costly to secure. With follow-on financings becoming challenging and costly to complete given the current state of the capital markets, publicly listed companies are turning to alternative forms of financing. One of these vehicles is at-the-market (ATM) financing.
