This week’s Monday Deal Review brings you the usual assortment of biotech wheelings and dealings from the past week, including a summary of the newly completed Valeant / Biovail merger. 

Monday Biotech Deal Review: July 12, 2010

This week saw several interesting deals, including an $85+ million exit for Sentinelle, some “bio-bucks” made good for Cipher, a licensing deal for Amorfix’s vCJD technology, a $10 million malaria deal for BC-based Artepharm and a new name (Medwell Capital) to go along with BioMS’ new business model.

Monday Biotech Deal Review: May 10, 2010

Some people were on the move this week — not only did Sanofi Canada announce 70 R&D job cuts, but BioMS took on a new banker and Labopharm, CardioComm and GeneNews all get new faces. Despite the fact that it seemed half of the country’s companies and deal-makers were at BIO in Chicago this week, there [...]

Monday Biotech Deal Review: January 18, 2010

Another strong week for Canadian deals. Light on securities, but heavy on M&A, licensing and partnerships.  MedGenesis and Cyplasin brought assets in, Canada and Australia are doing a do-sa-do (Topigen-Pharmaxis, YM-Cytopia), and Trillium Therapeutics signed an out-license to Biogen, while Medicure is shopping its lead program around.  Less good news for Haemacure and Forbes Medi-Tech, but plenty of other [...]

Monday Deal Review: August 24, 2009

This week saw a few headline deals that we covered at the time, including the Vasogen-Cervus-IntelliPharmaCeutics deal, the move by Takeda Canada to take back ACTOS rights from Lilly, and the Lonza offer for Patheon, but other than that it seems like it was a quiet week everywhere. Still, check out some good stuff

Monday Deal Review: May 11, 2009

Check out the latest Patheon-JLL developments, a licensing deal that looks like a subcontracting arrangement, a plan of arrangement M&A that looks like a license, and the rest of the Canadian deal info from this past week
