Chiron Corporation - The End of Chiron

The End of Chiron

Novartis Corporation was the result of a merger between Sandoz Laboratories and Ciba-Geigy in 1994 and owned slightly less than half of Chiron as part of a Federal Trade Commission order. Several of Sandoz’s subsidiaries were sold off for reasons of anti monopoly legislation. In 2005, Novartis made an offer to buy Chiron. Initially this offer was rebuffed, but after the bid was substantially enhanced, Chiron was sold, and became part of Novartis in April, 2006.

    And I threw a little earth
    on the pink coffin
    covered by the fake plastic grass

    if it’s the end of the world,
    it must be necessary.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Power may be at the end of a gun,” but sometimes it’s also at the end of the shadow or the image of a gun.
