Well remembered. History repeating itself.
From Wikipedia
'PowderJect Pharmaceuticals was a British vaccine, drug and diagnostics delivery company founded by Brian Bellhouse.
In 1993, PowderJect was spun out of the University of Oxford with the help of Isis Innovation.
In 2003, the company was taken over by the American Chiron Corporation for £542 million. The company's CEO was Paul Drayson, Baron Drayson, son-in-law of the founder, Brian Bellhouse, and they received £100 million following the takeover. Drayson received £43m for his 8% holding, Bellhouse £19.5m for his 3.6% stake, and their family trusts received £41m.'
'Sensyne Health, floated on the AIM in 2018, uses NHS data to provide clinical insights to the pharmaceutical industry. In 2020 Drayson was accused of creating a culture of fear at Sensyne.'
