Turning Pfizer Discards Into Novartis Gold: The Story Of Ziarco
forbes.com ^ | Mar 15, 2017 | John LaMattina

Posted on 04/10/2021 5:21:54 PM PDT by ransomnote

[ransomnote: Dr. Yeadon was formerly Chief Science officer of Pfizer's Respiratory and Allergy division.] Dr. Yeadon co-founded a company with 3 other former employees. Yeadon succeeded in obtaining licensing and funding from their former employer to build their company, which sold at a rumored 1 billion dollars.

(Note: The author is the former president of Pfizer global R&D and served as an advisor to Ziarco in 2013 and 2014.)

SNIP

Having access to the Pfizer compounds was a terrific accomplishment. But now Mike was faced with the daunting task of raising millions of dollars to run the R&D studies to convert these early-stage compounds into drugs. This wasn’t easy. To help in these efforts, he recruited two former Pfizer colleagues who were equally committed and became co-founders–Steve Liu and Lynn Purkins. They were later joined by Arif Shivji.

SNIP

On December 16, 2016, Novartis announced that it would acquire Ziarco. Besides ZPL-389, Novartis also got ZPL-521, a topical treatment for eczema, as well as an inhibitor of cPLA2, an early mediator in the arachidonic acid cascade, a key component of the inflammatory response. Terms of the deal were not announced. However, speculation is that the deal is worth up to $1 billion in a combination of upfront payments, milestones and royalties.

Mike and his team pulled off an amazing feat. They had a strong belief that the drugs that emanated from their Pfizer research work had value. But, converting that belief into reality was difficult. “The intensity of effort took me away almost completely from my family and other interests for almost five years and you get only one life.” Yet their belief was well-founded and their hard work was recognized with great success. Someday millions of eczema patients will be thankful for their efforts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're the only one saying that.

With Yeadon's 30 years of industry research and demonstrated excellence in his field, all you could do was distill it down to your patented waste-of-time strawman argument.

This means you have no actual counter argument to give.

All your 'arguments' fail the same way. "Checkmate"

*********************************************************
Perhaps you missed the /s at the end of my comment? The /s in Free Republic is traditionally meant to definitely signal SARCASM. The meds discussed in your linked site are legitimate medicines and they do their work after ENTERING YOUR CELLS. You know, entering your cells to do their intended work like many other medicines and mRNA vaccines such at the Moderna vaccine against COVID-19. These medicines as well as the new Moderna vaccine ARE NOT SCARY. When I said they were SCARY, I was using SARCASM...GET IT?

I know. I need to remember that some people are too dense to “get” or recognize sarcasm... even when it’s actually labeled sarcasm to help them out.

By the way, congratulations on a post that didn’t attack modern medicines like your post normally do.

Yea, we 'anti-covid vaxxers' want to go back to leeching and hot coins under a cup to purge the evil spirits.

Dude, your act is tired.

LSD, Ex-Lax, Ovaltine, Gerber baby food—not necessarily
in that order. See also—how to turn $10 into $100.000.00.
Ex-Lax was good to me etc....a guarantee gone wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you choose to read the article at some point you'll find, "Mike was told in the fall of 2010 that Pfizer was closing the Allergy & Respiratory Diseases programs and his own role as the CSO of this group was being eliminated. Rather than seek employment elsewhere, Mike had other ideas:"

Turning Pfizer Discards Into Novartis Gold: The Story Of Ziarco (forbes.com)

The article then goes on to describe how he and 3 colleagues got together to co-found a company, and how Yeadon worked out a deal with Pfizer to license some otherwise orphan drugs from the company - something Pfizer is not known to do. A success story from start to finish.

Poor retirees. On the bright side, Pfizer and Co. will be helping to balance the SS Trust Fund, while making a massive windfall profit doing it.

Win-win as defined by sociopaths everywhere.

Meanwhile, almost all of those retirees are still vitamin D deficient, and their idiot MDs will have for the most part suggested nothing to fix that problem. Murder.
