Two years ago, Bristol Myers Squibb R&D boss Rupert Vessey unveiled one of the biggest cash deals he’d done, focusing on the high-risk, high-reward IL-12 target — doing it in a deal with repeat collaborator and NK cell engager player Dragonfly Therapeutics.


As part of that deal, Vessey handed over $475 million in near-term cash in exchange for a global license for Dragonfly’s extended half-life cytokine DF6002 — a monovalent, IL-12 immunoglobulin Fc fusion protein designed to spur a targeted immune response.

Insightful post on Bristol-Myers' IL-12 work -great breakdown of the scientific and operational challenges. For teams managing the large clinical datasets behind these studies, this clear primer on SQL Server partitioning can really speed up queries and simplify ETL: https://devcom.com/tech-blog/how-to-partition-a-table-in-sql-server/
