northern, Thanks for checking: .....I think you will agree that he is ( and was) worth every penny of the options/warrants.....
You're not kidding on that score! The good Doctor is a true visionary; he is the one primarily responsible for making Aurinia come to life.
He's remarkable/outstanding in that he's successfully dedicated a good part of his life in efforts to improve the lives of Lupus sufferers. The whole history of Aspreva and how he put the nucleus of the Cellcept team back together for Aurinia is truly impressive/inspiring work.
Wish there were more like him but I thank God for the ones we do have.
He's the kind of guy that it would be great to have a couple of beers with and kick stuff around a bit.
