A potentially powerful new technology found a big-pharma sponsor this week as GlaxoSmithKline announced on Tuesday that it had signed a collaboration agreement with three-year-old biotech firm Concert Pharmaceuticals. The deal provides Concert with $35 million up-front and up to a billion dollars in milestone payments. Under the terms of the agreement, Concert will develop three of its compounds through agreed-upon clinical trials, at which point GSK will have an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to them.
