    Tal Zaks, M.D. was Chief Medical Officer at Moderna before, during, and immediately following the company's headline role during the COVID pandemic. If that doesn't pique your interest about the stories he can tell, this episode of the Business of Biotech surely will.

  2. Biotech Down Under with BiomeBank's Dr. Sam Costello 12/20/2023

    Merry Christmas, Business of Biotechers! On this Christmas Day release, we’re taking a trip to the land down under to visit with Dr. Sam Costello, managing director and co-founder at Adelaide, Australia-based BiomeBank. We covered some ground on this one, most notably the unique path BiomeBank took to chalking up the first donor-derived microbiome therapeutic approval of its kind, anywhere in the world. In a segment of biotech that’s been particularly battered of late, that’s a big, big win. 

  3. 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. 

  4. C&G Regulatory Guidance with Lineage Cell Therapeutics' Brian Culley 6/23/2024

    When we last caught up with Brian Culley, CEO of Lineage Cell Therapeutics, it was January 2021. A pandemic was raging. His company was moving mountains to keep its OpRegen dry AMD clinical trial together and did so despite lockdowns that kept a largely aged patient population from setting foot anywhere near a healthcare clinic. On his long-overdue return to the Business of Biotech, Culley opens up on how the company addressed struggling programs, wrestled manufacturing control issues and delivery inefficiencies in its spinal cord program to the ground, and maintained control of its regulatory progress along the way.
