Nycomed-Amersham is partnered with Dr. Irene Virgolini in Vienna. We have
known this for at least a year. She is developing radiolabeled lanreotide
and VIP. She calls her radiolabeled lanreotide, MAURITUS which confuses the
whole world (noone can even pronounce it and besides, it sounds a bit
silly). They are working with Stan Goldsmith at Cornell. He reviewed our
project as part of the GCRC site review last Nov. He clearly had conflicts
of interest and did excuse himself.

I agree that a confidentiality agreement is indicated. There own program
may be responsible as to why they have been so slow in setting up a meeting
with us. It also seems as if another meeting they were attending seemed to
be the catalyst to bring us together. Even though partnering with them
makes sense, it may not be easy because of their own R&D agenda (like
Novartis). This is where a Dupont can come in with cash and make things
happen if Amersham goes into a stalling mode.
