Biotech; or, how to really live longer, happier, healthier lives

WAN-acceleration and security-hardware vendor BlueCoat has agreed to acquire Packeteer.

Vitae Pharmaceuticals

The world can always use more players in the burgeoning apoptosis cancer pipeline; good to see Apogenix GmbH.

A previously unknown (to me, at least) player in the anti-anxiety/depression pipeline is Protagenics Therapeutics (hey, the more in this field the merrier!)

In addition to other areas, OSI Pharmaceuticals has some obesity and diabetes compounds.

NeurogesX is working on neuropathic pain, which is a pretty unmet need thus far; excellent!

Excellent! AndroScience has an alopecia compound they’re working on.

ConjuChem is working on both Type 2 Diabetes as well as HIV/AIDS.

Tanox has a small but good-looking pipeline that covers AIDS, lymphoma, asthma, etc.
