MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
P. KEVIN CASTEL, District Judge.
Defendant Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) has moved to dismiss this action for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper venue. Alternatively, it seeks to transfer the action to the Southern District of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). For the reasons set forth below, this court concludes that there is general jurisdiction over Ligand, venue is proper and the section 1404(a) factors do not favor transfer to another district. The motion is denied.
