    Dendreon tripling workforce ahead of expected vac launch

    April 1 2010 By John Carroll

    Over the years Seattle-based Dendreon made a global name for itself as it developed one of the world's first therapeutic vaccines. It's also advanced the careers of scores of biotech executives who have gone on to a wide variety of other drug developers.

    "Anybody who can sustain through what Dendreon has sustained--it's a good sign of who they are," Martin Simonetti, the former chief financial officer at Dendreon and now CEO of Seattle-based VLST, tells Xconomy's Luke Timmerman. ----------There were a lot of good people that made good things happen."

    ---- . The company tells Xconomy that its workforce, 200 a year ago, is growing to 600 this year AS IT PREPARES FOR THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED REGULATORY DECISION ON PROVENGE.
