As a born skeptic, and one pretty familiar with the industry, I did not find PC's line of questioning belittling at all. Perhaps I am not so skilled in the art of recognizing evil-doers.
As far as top notch scientists... sure GTCB has a few, but they are not limited to little companies, so you can bet the larger biotechs and pharmas have their share of smart guys too. That was my point a while back when I mentioned the ever closing gap between transgenic expression level and newer CHO cell line costs.
Housekeeping note: I forgot to mention that the 2002 interview cited in msg #4285 is referenced in the ReadMeFirst in the section called “What is GTC’s business all about?”
It’s almost time to update the ReadMeFirst again. If anyone has suggestions for what to leave in or what to leave out, please let me know.
