Interesting, I've already talked about a few of the deals that Bristol Myers Squibb and Robert H. Schwartz were involved in and I forgot about Exelixis, where Bruce Chabner has shares and more interesting is that Bruce Chabner has ties to Bristol Myers Squibb as well

Disclosures: Bruce A. Chabner: Sanofi, Allergan, Epizyme, PharmaMar, GlaxoSmithKline, Peregrine, Pharmacyclics (C/A); Eli Lilly (H); Gilead, Merck, Epizyme, Curis, Onyx, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Amgen, Celgene, Exelixis, Rigel (OI).

-------------------------------

This may need more looking into, because the puzzle pieces become confusing and I wonder if Bruce Chabner will become a PS Targeting advocate because now I am confused that he does not list Peregrine as a disclosure above ??

time to hit some golf balls and think about it
