Supernus Pharmaceuticals Inc.

In the early part of this decade, Shire Laboratories was the engine that drove much of Shire PLC's success. The drug delivery unit, which specialized in oral formulations, played a key role in developing many of Shire's top products. Those technologies, as well as existing partnerships, now reside at Supernus Pharmaceuticals, which intends to turn Shire's former drug delivery business into a fully integrated, CNS-focused specialty pharmaceuticals firm.
