You guys are all crazy!! Natera is going to be as big as BMS one day! The relationships that have been formed and partnerships with huge hospital and research centers around the world is by far ahead of any other lab out there. This is huge news with oncology and our IPO will be one of the most successful in the history of IPO's for biotechnology. Trust me. This is a great place to be at this exact moment. I just hope some of you can hold on to your jobs long enough to benefit from it.
Your management must be really desperate. Let’s look a little closer at these claims. In terms of your partnerships with hospital and research centers around the world, page 5 of your S-1 filing lists your partnership with world-renowned cancer centers: Feinstein Institute of LIJ, Stanford, Einstein, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt, and Cancer Research UK. Nice list, right?
Your competitor Sequenom also has liquid biopsy research efforts. If you navigate to: http://sequenom.investorroom.com/, download their corporate presentation at the 2015 Jeffries Healthcare Conference and look at their collaborations with their world-renowned cancer centers on page 26: UCSD, Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, Dana Farber, and Harvard.
So which company has stronger partnerships?
Here is a list from the U.S. News and World Report (http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/rankings/cancer)
1. Memorial Sloan Kettering
2. MD Anderson
3. Mayo Clinic
4. Dana Farber
5. Johns Hopkins
6. University of Washington
7. Mass General (part of Harvard)
8. UCSF
9. UCLA
10. Stanford
So you come up with your own conclusions. By the way, they are launching their liquid biopsy offering (albeit research use only) later on this year. See page 24 of the investor presentation. How about you guys?
