RE:RE:RE:biosimilar market
RE:RE:RE:biosimilar market Though I couldn't find any mention of BTI in Medimmune's annual report, I did find something on their website that may have been posted here before (see below). It may have been in the annual report, I just couldn't find it during a hasty review.

Alternative technologies to meet new challenges
- Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) transport
In many diseases, from pain to Alzheimer’s disease to multiple sclerosis, a number of well-validated targets are located behind the BBB. This significantly restricts their accessibility to peripherally administered biologics. Based on data from murine models, MedImmune has developed and deployed a number of transporter molecules that, when fused to a biologic, can carry the biologic across the BBB and elicit a central pharmacology response. This platform is now being exploited pre-clinically to develop antibody- and peptide-based therapeutics against a number of indications. We have collaborations with the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada as well as BiOasis (Toronto, Canada) in this area.
