    Novartis obtained a large amount of cash by selling its 20-year stake in Roche, sparking media speculation about where the company will spend the money


    The biotechnology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the developer of RNA interference (RNAi) technology behind Novartis’s newly acquired cholesterol drug Leqvio (also known as inclisiran), which is expected to soon be approved by the US FDA


    In a conference call in July of this year, when asked about comments on the possible pursuit of mRNA, Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan pointed out that the drugmaker is making continuous efforts in RNAi


    The cooperation between Novartis and Alnylam can also be traced back a long time ago


    Alnylam successfully launched Onpattro in 2018 as the first RNAi therapy approved by the FDA


    In addition, Alnylam is currently in the transitional period of CEO, long-term leader John Maragonore handed over the position to President and Chief Operating Officer Yvonne Greenstreet


    In addition to Alnylam, Novartis may also conduct transactions in other areas.


    Gene therapy company BioMarin Pharmaceutical is also one of the most attractive potential acquisition targets
