TAXIS Pharmaceuticals - a privately held company.

"Based at the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's Tech Center of NJ in North Brunswick, TAXIS was founded in 2009 to develop novel antimicrobial technologies discovered at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, by professors Daniel S. Pilch, Ph.D., of the Department of Pharmacology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Edmond J. LaVoie, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy.
Our existing compounds, now augmented by the molecules acquired from Biota, are currently in pre-clinical trials. If successful, these agents would be the first major breakthrough in antibiotic technology since the discovery of ciprofloxacin, commonly known as Cipro, in 1981."

Now with the Biota compounds, TAXIS will probably be able to target some nice grant money.

I wonder whether TAXIS is a good example of company worth investing in, rather than giving away IP cheap - well, I wonder what the deal was?

Still no courtesy email replies from any of our boy wonders...
