  4. Biopolitics With Allan Shaw 11/24/2024

    The notion that political influence has no place in biology appears poised for a test it hasn’t studied for. Trump administration nominations, from RFK, Jr. to HHS and Vivek Ramaswamy to the newly-proposed DOGE, are driving speculation over the implications for biotech and other life sciences industries. How should biotech builders be obviating? On the Business of Biotech, we’re joined for some reflection by none other than Allan Shaw.

  5. Drug Delivery Differentiators with Syncromune's Eamonn Hobbs 7/7/2024

    Syncromune's Sync-T solid tumor therapeutic platform is, in a word, complex. The company's three phase 1 programs combine T-cell science with a proprietary drug delivery device to target solid tumors, specifically metastatic breast, non-small-cell lung, and castrate-resistant prostate cancers. But, while orchestrating a successful drug/device combination therapy presents unique regulatory challenges and requires a diverse array of in-house skillsets, President and CEO Eamonn Hobbs is confident. Why? He's done it before.

  7. Facing NASH Therapeutic Skepticism With 89bio's Rohan Palekar 8/9/2023

    The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) therapeutics market has proven to be an 11/10 on the difficulty scale. Despite billions of big biopharma dollars invested in therapeutic development, and a few close calls, no therapeutics has yet reached the finish line.

  8. An Unanticipated Biotech Startup With OS Therapies' Paul Romness 11/3/2024

    Becoming a biotech CEO wasn't on Paul Romness' bingo card. He'd forged his place in the biopharma industry as a foremost public and policy affairs expert. Thirteen years at J&J, more than 5 at Amgen, and half a dozen at Boehringer Ingelheim had earned him the right to coast into a consulting gig that would enable him to finish out his career on his terms. Then his daughter's best friend Olivia, a teenage girl and neighbor he'd watched grow up, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

    In August of this year, the first TCR cell therapy to be approved for use in the U.S. was greenlighted by the FDA for patients with unresectable or metastatic synovial sarcoma who have previously received chemotherapy. It marked the first new treatment for those patients in more than a decade; a win for those patients, and a win for Adrian Rawcliffe, who’s had a hand on the wheel at Adaptimmune, the therapy’s developer and manufacturer, since he joined the company as CFO in 2015.
