I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different venture groups over my 20+ years in the life sciences industry, and Abingworth is outstanding. The team has been a tremendous resource to Magellan – opening doors to potential acquisition and strategic partnering opportunities, introducing us to key people in the industry, pitching in with valuable analysis and insight as we work to achieve our aggressive growth goals and take our place as a worldwide leader in clinical diagnostics.
