Canada-based Tekmira Pharmaceuticals says that it expects to receive a minimum of $11.2 million over the next three years from its partner, US  RNAi specialist Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, for process development and  manufacturing services. This commitment is part of Tekmira's  manufacturing relationship with Alnylam through Phase II clinical  development for RNAi therapeutics that utilize the Canadian firm's  SNALP technology, including Alnylam's clinical-stage product candidate  ALN-VSP (Marketletter June 9, 2008).
