NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

[Nanotoday]

Actually Dr. Diwan says it IS money:

We have made a diligent effort since founding to find a facility where we could get our drugs made without going through the time and expense of building one ourselves. Our nanoviricides® drugs are defining the cutting edge of pharmaceutical technology. Such products have never been made before in the pharmaceutical arena as drugs. Thus we found that the expertise for translating our technology into a manufacturing process with appropriate controls is rare in contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). In addition, our negotiations with certain CMOs demonstrated to us that any CMO would need to put in specialized equipment for our processes, and the cost of the equipment design and engineering, process design and engineering, as well as the cost of all custom modifications to their facilities and the custom equipment, would be passed on to NanoViricides, Inc. We also found out that a small nimble company like ours can find ways to do these things at a much lower cost than a medium or large CMO.

If they had "all the money in the world" they absolutely could get a manufacturing facility operational faster. To claim otherwise is more "NNVC exceptionalism" and completely false.

I think all the talk of China is ridiculous and I put it in the same group as the Hawaii party menu planning discussion from 3 years ago, $100 SP and 40 virgins waiting in heaven. Just more Soma.

Let's just get tox and facility done before the end of '14.

Publishing some results now that they have an "affiliation" with The Center for Biological Physics and California NanoSystems Institute would do wonders for PR and the SP. But unlikely until phase 1 is complete ('15 at the earliest).
