Gilead still has­n't made up its mind about Ar­cus' drugs, but there's a top ex­ec at the biotech it def­i­nite­ly wants

Gilead made clear it’s in for the long I/O game when it out­lined a $2 bil­lion deal with Ar­cus — in­clud­ing $375 mil­lion paid up­front — that would span a full decade. One year in, it’s tap­ping a trusty stew­ard to man­age that al­liance.
