Laxai Pharma (formerly NexGen Biofuels) has given up its flirtation with ethanol for its first love, clinical research services. Under the name Healthcare Technologies, the company once made diagnostic tests and other tools for clinical labs and biotech researchers. But in early 2008 it divested its diagnostics operations and acquired the assets of NexGen Biofuels and taking its name, planned to build several ethanol and bio-diesel plants in the US. However, in 2009 the company had a change of heart and decided to go back to its first business, and in 2010 acquired OSR Solutions, a drug development company. Laxai Pharma's strategic plans call for it to acquire other clinical research services firms.
