J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference

SAN FRANCISCO - At the 27th annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, discussions from the crowded hallways to the private meetings rooms predicted that biotech is in for a year of consolidation, but that the industry will emerge leaner and stronger.

The consolidation is well under way, as evidenced by the bankruptcies of biotechs like Introgen Therapeutics Inc., MicroIslet Inc., AtheroGenics Inc. and several others - as well as by mergers and acquisitions proposed by Cephalon Inc. with Ception Inc. The Medicines Co. with Targanta Therapeutics Corp. and Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. with Indevus Pharmaceuticals Inc.
