On the Radar: Five biotech companies to watch

Partnering deals, regulatory actions and fresh clinical trial data make up a big part of what we cover here at FierceBiotech. So we decided to start asking some prominent market analysts to give us an inside look at what they're watching for on the near horizon. Today we start with Dr. Simos Simeonidis (pictured), the senior biotech analyst for Rodman & Renshaw, who scanned the radar for five key upcoming events and his thoughts on how they're likely to play out. He focuses on Poniard Pharmaceuticals, GTx, OncoGenex, MannKind and Rigel.
