  1. Functional Antibody Screening With Abalone Bio's Richard Yu, Ph.D. 7/29/2025

    In this episode of "Better Biopharma," Abalone Bio's CEO and co-founder, Richard Yu, Ph.D., explains how the company's functional antibody selection technology (FAST) platform differs from traditional affinity screening.

  2. BoB@JPM: Gene Writing With Tessera's Michael Severino, M.D. 2/26/2023

    Flagship Pioneering plucked Michael Severino, M.D. away from AbbVie to run point at Tessera, a startup it's backed to pioneer a new category of genetic medicine it calls gene writing. The Business of Biotech caught up with Severino at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco last month. We learned what lured him away from leadership positions at Merck, Amgen, and AbbVie, how gene writing differs from gene therapy and gene editing, why the team at Tessera believes its technologies can write and rewrite DNA at the scales necessary to cure most genetic diseases, and where he plans to take the company from here. 

  3. Don't Be A D**k With Ochre Bio's Dr. Quin Wills 9/27/2023

    Don't be offended by the title of today's Business of Biotech podcast. Dr. Quin Wills' application of what's become known as "Wheaton's Law" (look it up) is central to the ambitious goals his company, Ochre Bio, is pursuing: pioneering the value of computational biology in large mol discovery and development, putting an end to the global liver disease epidemic, and changing the costly, high-risk approach to clinical trials. On this week's episode, Dr. Wills and I explore how those goals are being addressed despite the challenges they present, and how the company's three guiding principles, don't be a d**k being one of them, align the Ochre team with the mission at hand. 

  4. Development Of A Mitra Tip Extraction Assay Coupled With LC-MSMS 1/15/2025

    Watch this rundown of a novel method for quantifying L-Citrulline, L-Arginine, and L-Argininosuccinic acid using Mitra tip extraction coupled with LC-MS/MS for enhanced accuracy and reproducibility.

  5. Testing Liquid Handler Performance With PCRMix 5/6/2022

    We demonstrate the importance of using an appropriate test solution when optimizing a liquid handler to dispense the master mix, a critical component in any PCR-based assay.

  6. An All-In-One Solution For Residual DNA Quantitation 5/22/2025

    Explore an all-in-one solution for residual DNA quantitation with a 3D lab tour with virtual demos, videos, and interactive instrument guides to experience the full workflow.

  7. Tissue Adenosine Distribution-Guided Gene Selection 2/17/2025

    Unlike conventional predictive biomarkers, which often focus on isolated molecular markers, this strategy integrates spatial metabolomics and genomics, providing a multidimensional perspective.

  8. Bio Career Moves With Codagenix's Johanna Kaufmann, Ph.D. 10/11/2023

    On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, Dr. Johanna Kaufmann gives us an intimate retrospective on her career to date, sharing stories about her rapid ascension from Scientist 1 to executive leadership. We dig into her wild ride through M&A, her time at GSK, and the professional and personal development regimens she subscribes to.

  9. Developing Antibodies To Block Neuroinflammation With MindImmune's Stevin Zorn, Ph.D. 10/20/2025

    In this episode of "Better Biopharma," host Tyler Menichiello is joined by MindImmune's president and CEO, Stevin Zorn, Ph.D. They discuss the development of the company's lead candidate, MITI-101, a monoclonal antibody designed to prevent peripheral immune cells from entering the brain and driving neuroinflammation linked to Alzheimer's disease.

  10. Is Evaporation Important For Optical Biosensors? 2/17/2022

    If your sample is open to evaporation effects causing your concentration to change, will your data, and potentially your conclusions, be unreliable?
