Establishing Research With Horizon Therapeutics' Robert Stoffel, Ph.D.

Horizon Therapeutics has made plenty of waves in the biotech news cycle of late. While perhaps not as flashy as a perilous multibillion dollar acquisition deal or potential blockbuster readout, its formal establishment of a research team – comparatively pragmatic as that may be – could have long-term consequences that are just impactful. On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, we dig into why the company chose to establish a research function, learn why it chose Dr. Robert Stoffel, Ph.D. to run it, and get a step-by-step explainer on how Stoffel went about establishing the department, setting its goals and strategy, staffing it, and integrating it across teams at the fast-rising biopharmaceutical company.
