The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”).  This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On March 18, 2011, the Issuer announced that it had entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger”) with Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (“Quest”) and Spark Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quest (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares for $8.00 per Share, net to the holder thereof in cash (the “Offer Price”).
 
On March 30, 2011, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the CEO of Quest, Dr. Surya N. Mohapatra, Ph.D., stating that the Reporting Persons believe that the extraordinary value of the Issuer’s passive drug royalties were not reflected in the Offer Price and that the Merger should be restructured to carve out these non-strategic drug royalties.  The Reporting Persons believe a cooperative solution is in the best interest of all parties, including Quest, certainly relative to non-cooperative alternatives.
 
The letter further stated that should Quest and the Issuer be unwilling to restructure the Merger, the Reporting Persons intend to (1) not tender their shares in the Merger and would encourage all shareholders to do the same; (2) continue discussions with third-parties regarding alternatives to the Merger including, but not limited to, the submission of a superior proposal for all or part of the Issuer and/or the replacement of the Issuer’s management; and (3) in the event that the majority of Shares are tendered and the Merger is approved, seek appraisal rights for its Shares and encourage all non-tendering shareholders to do the same.  A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
On April 1, 2011, Quest responded to the letter, rejecting the Reporting Persons’ proposal.  A copy of Quest’s response is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 7.
Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
 
Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:
 
 
99.1
Letter from Biotechnology Value Fund, L.P. to Quest Diagnostics, Incorporated, dated March 30, 2011.
 
 
99.2
Letter from Quest Diagnostics, Incorporated to Biotechnology Value Fund, L.P., dated April 1, 2011.
