“Just as a follow up to my prior post, it's worth noting that AVI Pharma is headquartered in Bothell, Washington, and that Sen Patti Murray, who is on the Senate Appropriations Committee that also oversees appropriations for DoD, represents the State of Washington. That helps provide a perspective as to perhaps why AVI Pharma was able to garner such a generous contract and upfront payment. I'm sure the merits of their technology and past affiliation with the DARPA program were key factors. Luckily, Tekmira's merger partner, Protiva Bio, has an office in Seattle, WA, so Sen Murray has some incentive to ensure Tekmira is not left out of the funding picture.” From Revello on the Tekmira Pharmaceuticals (TSX: T.TKM , Stock Forum) board.
