Alder Biopharmaceuticals prepares to ramp up hiring effort

Following a $40 million venture round in January, Seattle-based Alder Biopharmaceuticals has plans to ramp up its antibody work and will hire a number of new researchers.

That's all good news for the Seattle area, where the biotech scene has been the center of more downsizing than upsizing in recent years.
