Since Artisan is in Waltham, and to my recollection you reside in the greater Boston area, how about you take a trip there and try to find out a bit more about them for yourself and for the rest of us? :-) <A HREF="http://www.artisanpharma.net/contact.htm" target="_blank">http://www.artisanpharma.net/contact.htm</A> I would do it myself but I think you are a lot more knowledgeable about the issues than I am, and hence you would get a much better feedback.
