What you are saying was told to me more than 15 years ago by Genzyme's former CFO.
Sandra Lehrman tried dealing with BP (Elan, Bristol Myers,Centecor) wasting precious time and money. The closest to using transgenics was Centecor until they merged with J&J.
Genzyme spun off GTC for further financing and to get their losses off Genz income statement.
I believe Genz will be the next partner with a small upfront payment 6-10M and larger milestone payments for the DIC indication.
