Powderject Pharmaceuticals
Article Abstract:
Powderject Pharmaceuticals develops drug delivery systems, though it is unclear that the company's technology can make its technology commercial. A joint project with Boehringer and Roche has been cancelled, and the company faces competition from an increasing number of rivals. The company does, however, benefit from patents, and the technology is appropriate for some drugs, with powdered versions giving rise to better immune responses. Not all drugs can be used with this technology, especially since liquid based options are available.

Powderject
Article Abstract:
Powderject has developed a drug delivery device that is needle-free. The company is delaying its lead product's launch by two years and the chief designer has lost his job. The company's stock price has been affected. Credit Suisse First Boston and Raphael Zorn Hemsley both rate the company's stocks a buy, and Warburg Dillon Read rates them a strong buy. The company's stocks appear to be fairly priced, given the strong price rises for other stocks.
