Re: Director, Digital Marketing.......
The staff appears very impressive. I cannot imagine such a built up, unless there were strong assurances that Imetelstat (the franchise) is everything that the successful trials indicate. There are no guarantees until the 'fat lady sings'. In this case, the NDA is 'the fat lady'. Geron's recent share price is difficult to understand ($2.14), without considering naked shorting and other manipulations.
