Acquainting yourself with The Legendary BAKER BROS AMRN's largest shareholder 13.5% and 40 mln shrs background

IIRC both brothers (one is a Stanford PHD in Immunology and the other was a deal make/Lawyer from First Boston decided to run money.) So back in the early 2000 period BEFORE they opened the fund up to Pension Funds, was bequeathed ~$100 mln to manage strictly in BioTechs from none other than the multi-billionaire NYC's super businessman and major NYC philanthropist Larry Tisch:

Through acquisitions, Tisch built Loews' into a highly profitable conglomerate (with 14 hotels, 67 movie theaters, CNA Financial, Bulova, and Lorillard) with revenues increasing from $100 million in 1970 to more than $3 billion in 1980.[3]

In 2002, the year before Larry Tisch's death, the corporation had revenues of more than $17 billion and assets of more than $70 billion
