    Hi ratkin. I think your "aimed shotgun" approach to biotech - or, "life sciences" as I'm learning to call them! - may be the way to go. There are similar risks to investing in unproven mining exploration companies, IMO, but always the chance of stumbling on a CSL or a Cochlear!

    I'm still interested in Starpharma SPL but havn't bought any yet. I like their strong position in the development of dendrimer products although must admit that I don't fully understand the science. The SP took a hit recently when stage 3 test results on their lead product, VivaGel, weren't as conclusive as hoped but more recently again there was an encouraging test result on their docetaxel cancer drug. Directors have been buying at these lower SP levels which is often a bullish sign.

    Have a look at the presentation from the AGM on 30 November, for more details. ( Tried to attach but having PC problems!)

    I had a brief look at Starpharma but was put off by bio shares having a reduce recommendation, although presumably that was because of price rather than poor performance

    I am a long suffering SH of Clinuvel (CUV). I think they are worth a look at. At near historic lows and are expecting EMA approval for an Orphan drug indication (EPP - sun intorlerence) in the next 1 - 3 months (they have one compound SCENESSE® afamelanotide). Already granted usage in Italy and Switzland with Govt refunding insurers. Good safety profile, successfully completed phase III trials for EPP plus an extra one for confirmation. Will make FDA application over next two years for EPP after completing Phase III there - slight possibility of this being short circuted with EMA Approval. About to release first trial results for Vitilago which opens up a much bigger market.

    As I said I am long suffering (been in since 2004) but they have moved forward consistently (albeit slowly) and have done so without partnering to a big Pharma and are very close to European (and Australian) approval for the first indication.

    Cheers,

    I-man

    ACL down nearly 30% today as they didn't the ipo split away. I hope PIE Funds took their profits prior. Disc no pie funds YET and no ACL.

    picked up some acg today (atCor medical) They just had their first profit on the 22nd so I missed the price jump. Anyone looked into this further?? Seems like a good concept and potential for EPS growth.
