article from an Irish publication


ALTHOUGH Amarin, formerly known as Ethical Holdings, is headquartered in London, its roots are largely Irish.
A number of former Elan executives work in the company which is chaired by former Elan finance director Tom Lynch.
From the early days it attracted the attention of a number of high profile Irish investors including Dermot Desmond, Tony Ryan and John Climax.
The current chief executive Rick Stewart was asked to join the company by Tom Lynch when he was still at an Elan competitor.
Amarin also has collaborations for its development programmes with a number of universities including Trinity College.
Outside of Miraxion, Amarin's core development pipeline also includes the global rights to an oral formulation of apomorphine for treating patients with advanced Parkinson's Disease.
