Insights of The Matter
It was a major recognition for the company. Post this announcement, company’s president Neil K. Warma, was asked to present the overview of Opexa at the prestigious Therapeutic Area Partnerships meeting. It was held at the Hilton Boston Back Bay between November 18-20.
According to Marc Wortman, E. Director, Therapeutic Area Partnerships, the selection procedure was very tough and strict. There’s no chance of any loophole in the selection procedure, which means all the selected companies are the best ones among those that applied to be considered for Top Projects to Watch. Some of the points that were paid heed at the time of selecting winners include market potential, unmet medical need, and diversity of indications, multi-level partnering opportunities, strong science and corporate stability.
The primary fact that prompted Therapeutic Area Partnerships to opt for such rigorous procedure was the willingness to select the best candidates in the market and offering them the exposure they deserved. It always wants to offer world-class exposure to all the potential partners, investors, and acquirers, so that they can grow to the heights they deserve.
Warma said that it was an honor to be selected as one among the best in the industry.
