Yes, but I don't think any investors seriously thought that Sirna could reinvent itself after being a ribozyme company at the time. Phil Sharp clearly garners a lot more attention.
Rybozymes were a good idea at the time too, but didn't go anywhere.
I'm not saying that RNAi drugs will work without stumbling, as delivery and stability and targeting issues are still key, but it wasn't invented yesterday.
