Here is one close connection that makes any rumors of a meeting with Roche believable . . . from the SVFC website description of the BOD -
Myron Holubiak, Director, Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee
Myron Holubiak is currently President of 1-800-Doctors, Inc. Mr. Holubiak is also Chairman of the Board of Directors of BioScrip, Inc., an infusion and home health company, and Lead Independent Director of Ventrus BioSciences, Inc. From 1998 through 2001, Mr. Holubiak was President of Roche Laboratories, Inc.
I would think this connection makes a pretty good tie-in with Roche.
SVFC may be about to, finally, take-off!
