Also, another goal of United Devices.....

....besides cancer is searching for a cure for smallpox. I think this is an extremely important use of resources (while many others do not share this opinion). If smallpox was re-introduced to our now largely uninoculated world, the devastation would dwarf anything that cancer does. That's why I crunch on smallpox.

I agree timcuth. They seem to be winding down the Smallpox part. Since they have put the Cancer program on most of my boxes.

I noticed the same thing...my UD agents have switched over from LIGANDFIT-SMALLPOX to straight LIGANDFIT for cancer in the past few days.
