We found Sirtris Pharmaceuticals when it was still a private company before it IPO'ed and traded it often making great returns all along. The CEO of Sirtris, which was bought out by Glaxo Smith Kline, is Harvard Phd Christoph Westphal. He is also a founder of Concert Pharmaceuticals as he was with Sirtris, Alnayam pharmaceuticals, Momenta Pharmaceuticals, and Acceleron Pharmaceuticals. All of these firms have become successful businesses and profitable stocks to own.
