The Company's goal is to balance the use of corporate partner funding
and equity sales to minimize dilution, and to retain significant
product rights to enhance shareholder value. Throughout Isis’
history, the Company has been successful in generating corporate
partner funding while both retaining control of its technology and
delivering value to partners. These partnerships have produced products
for Isis' and its partners' pipelines.
Isis has the ability to enter into a wide variety of partnership
agreements focused on antisense research and therapeutics, functional
genomics offerings, Ibis technologies, and intellectual property.
