And then, of course, we can talk about what it's like to be at a CDMO, but to go from a biotech to pharma, because your title didn't change, but how did your job change in those two different environments? And I guess, how has it changed now that you're at Asmiket?

Chengyi ChenGUEST
First, yeah, let's talk about from Mirati to BMS, right? Obviously, you know, as Alagasp got launched, Mirati also grew substantially, right? It was not a small biotech anymore.

Chengyi ChenGUEST
When I joined Mirati in 2019, so Mirati had like 85 people, right? And then by time, I think BMS...

Chengyi ChenGUEST
We literally got a little bit of everything and then we try to operate a little bit like a farmer, right? And then when BMS acquired us, of course, BMS inserted their practice, right? And then take over the projects.
