Melt Away Fat! Never Diet Again!! The promises of “magic pills” that will lead to safe, effortless weight loss are everywhere. But while these mythical weight loss products may never exist…the FDA is getting ready to approve something extremely close. The news has been nearly impossible to miss…with a tidal wave of interest in medications that are revolutionizing an innovative approach to weight loss is swiftly evolving. Unlike past diet and weight loss trends, GLP-1 drugs are generating levels of enthusiasm that have rarely been seen. And honestly, there are few examples from history that have generated such impact. What once started as a lesser-known treatment (aiming to control blood glucose levels) of type-2 diabetics has turned Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound into household names, and brought us to the cusp of a health revolution. Furthermore, the next few days, months, and beyond, are shaping up to be a pivotal time for the GLP-1 landscape…mostly due to the FDA expectantly approving the first orally administered medication for chronic weight management (i.e. oral Wegovy semaglutide) sometime during this fourth quarter of 2025. Though, if this discovery has fueled an unprecedented surge in interest and demand for these current injectable peptides, why then are companies working so hard to make oral tablet forms of weight loss drugs that target the GLP-1 receptor? From a business perspective, there are some obvious advantages…such as oral tablet formulations tend to be cheaper and easier to manufacture and distribute than sterile injector pens. In fact, manufacturing complexity, both in terms of making the peptide active ingredients and producing the final injectors…significantly contributed to both Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk struggling to supply surging demand for their products following approvals for weight loss indications. And from a patient perspective, oral weight loss pills are attractive for several reasons…most notably enhancing convenience for those who simply prefer pills to injections and making treatment accessible to those who are “extremely needle-phobic.” However, while tablet forms are generally more familiar and accessible to most individuals, the relative success of any oral drugs will likely depend on a combination of price, performance, and side-effect profiles. And although oral Wegovy is expected to be approved first, competition will quickly heat up from a myriad of biopharma companies, including Eli Lilly, Viking Therapeutics, Biomed, and Roche. In fact, Eli Lilly is expected to submit its application soon to the FDA for its once daily oral weight loss drug (with potential regulatory approval in 2026). Regardless, the demand for effective weight loss treatments is huge…and there's ample space in the market for a variety of complementary therapies. According to recent Goldman Sachs projections, the U.S. weight loss medication market will essentially triple to over $60 billion by 2030…with oral versions accounting for a quarter of that total market size. While oral weight loss drugs represent (in my opinion) one of the most significant new product cycles across the entire biopharma sector, there's no guarantee they make an immediate disruptive market impact or outcompete existing injectables long-term. And these will be margin accretive for the pharmaceutical industry's newest cash cow…even if this first wave isn't perfect, there will be a next wave of improvements, and then another new wave of improvements after that (if appropriate).

In this eye-opening episode of Fertility Village Live, co-hosts Tanya and Erin welcome Dr. Mathieu Boilard, PhD—CEO and founder of Nasci Biomed—for an in-depth conversation on male fertility and the groundbreaking science happening behind the scenes. Nasci Biomed is a private research and diagnostic lab based in Quebec, Canada, specializing in the advanced cellular biology of spermatozoa. Their work uses cutting-edge flow cytometry and biochemistry to offer some of the most comprehensive male fertility analyses available today.Dr. Boilard walks us through what a fertility spermogram actually measures—from volume and pH to detailed mobility patterns, morphology, and even DNA fragmentation. He explains why these deeper insights matter when it comes to diagnosis, early detection of male factor infertility, and choosing the right course of treatment. We explore common diagnoses like oligospermia, azoospermia, and teratospermia, and discuss what current options exist for men with very low or no sperm—such as micro-TESE procedures and hormone treatments. We also talk about how testosterone and other hormones play a critical role in sperm production, and what signs men can look for if they're wondering whether they may have a fertility issue.We dig into sperm DNA fragmentation—what it is, how it's tested, and how it can impact outcomes for IUI and IVF. Dr. Boilard shares how Nasci is bridging the gap between fertility research and clinical application, constantly searching for technologies that could lead to meaningful breakthroughs for patients. Whether you're currently TTC, undergoing treatment, or just learning more about your reproductive health, this episode provides essential knowledge for anyone looking to better understand the often-overlooked male side of the fertility journey.To learn more about Nasci Biomed or to book an appointment for a fertility spermogram or DNA fragmentation test, visit: www.nascibiomed.ca

Tuvik Beker, CEO, and Ranit Aharonov, CTO of Pangea Biomed, have designed ENLIGHT, a computational platform driving precision oncology that matches cancer tumors with available therapies. Drawing on an understanding of synthetic mortality and synthetic rescue, this approach focuses on how the interaction between genes increases or decreases the tumor cell's fitness and the likely response to a drug. Determining which populations might benefit most from a drug opens the door to new treatments for common and rare diseases. Tuvik explains, "When we match therapies to patients, just according to the pure genetic characteristics of the tumor, sometimes we miss potential therapies, and sometimes we give patients therapies that do not work very effectively. To solve that, we developed ENLIGHT, which looks at the broader characteristics of the tumor, not just at the target gene, but multiple interactions, and that way, we can find potential therapies that are missed by the current guidelines and common biomarkers." Ranit elaborates, "So when we search for these interactions between genes, we look at a lot of available cancer data. We have a large database of a lot of cell lines that were treated and human tumors, and we know the survival of the patients and so on, but we don't need to know anything about what drugs they got. Our algorithms allow us, by looking at a lot of correlations between different activations of genes and survival and what happens to cells, we are able to find what are the pairs in the entire genome of genes that their co-activation affects the fitness or the tumor survival. And by knowing this, you can think of it as a sort of vulnerability map of tumors." "One of the things I haven't yet described and I think wouldn't have happened without this revolution is that we can now move a step further. When we look at a patient's tumor, we don't necessarily need to measure the RNA expression or the activation of genes directly. We can look at the tumor through a microscope using standard histopathology slides, the ones with the bluish and pinkish coloring that have been used for decades and are really available everywhere." #PrecisionsMedicine #Oncology #PrecisionOncology #RareDisease #Biotech #Startup #AI #MachineLearning pangeabiomed.com Download the transcript here

For this episode, I was joined by Brian DeHaven, PhD, inaugural chief program director for the College's Biomedical Sciences program. Dr. DeHaven joined PCOM earlier this year and has an ambitious agenda for the BioMed program. He and I discuss his vision for the program and what sets PCOM apart from its peers; changes to education as a result of the pandemic and the effort to meet students where they are; and the future of graduate medical education.
