We have a lot to do, and it’s doable. People are lining up for our product. We are flat, lean, and focused on results, and we always will be. We value integrity, determination, and courage. Why this is important Promising new drug therapies are likely to be biologic. They are highly targeted, which reduces side effects. Our instruments isolate these therapeutic proteins from others that are part of living cells. We believe speeding antibody and vaccine development is a worthy endeavor. The common cold, arthritis, cancer, and many other terrible diseases are likely to be cured by biologic therapies.
