In a world of options, Genmab's CEO chose partnerships
In 2015, Genmab partnered with relatively unknown biotech firm Biontech.

If it had acquired Biontech at the time, the CEO speculates Genmab may have put a stop to other activities – including the Covid-19 vaccine efforts that went on to save millions of lives. This and fairness are worth remembering as biotech firms are increasingly strapped for cash, van de Winkel reflects.
