NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2016 / The Biotech Industry received a boost last month after Pfizer Inc. announced its acquisition of Anacor Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its eczema gel, crisaborole, for $5.2 billion. Under the terms of the deal, Pfizer agreed to pay $99.25 per share in cash for Anacor, which represented a 55 percent premium to Anacor's closing price of $64.03 on May 13th.
