Show Quotes:
"[Big Pharma] see smaller biopharma companies, such as ourselves as being much more nimble in the R and D space. So they look to partner with multiple small biopharma and their ideas, and then take some of those ideas and they do what they they're good at, which is the latest stage clinical trial planning phases. And of course the FDA approval marketing."
