Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $1,213,918 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.

Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $594,875 for RAJIV RATAN MD PHD (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
