Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Two pharmaceutical companies and a medtech maker snagged three of the top-10 spots on Deloitte’s 2018 North America Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the fastest-growing North American companies in the fields of technology, life sciences, telecommunications, media and energy.
Arrowhead announced a deal with Johnson & Johnson that could conceivably be worth over $3.7 billion, with J&J agreeing to pick up a minor stake in the company, including the task of cultivating and promoting its ARO-HBV Hepatitis B drug.
There’s been another milestone in the history of biotech: The world’s first RNAi gene-silencing drug, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals’ Onpattro, got approved on August 10. That makes 2018 a landmark year. But another year—2014—may prove just as influential for the field and how it develops.
