In the past decade, we've seen an explosion in medical and biotechnologies like gene editing with CRISPR, synthetic organs, cloning, and AI-powered prosthetics that are helping to eradicate disease, improve the human condition, and enhance our brain power. These developments have radically transformed our understanding of the human body and what we thought was possible. But like most new tech, there's also potential for misuse, privacy concerns, and ethical implications. Gene editing can cure debilitating diseases but also lead to designer babies. AI learning algorithms can power neural implants but also potentially create new chemical weapons. Ian Bremmer delves into that tension on the GZERO World Podcast with Siddhartha Mukherjee, a physician and biologist whose new book, “The Song of the Cell,” explores the science, history, and technology behind what he calls “the new humans.”
Earlier this week Celine Halioua (ODF2), founder and CEO of Loyal — a dog longevity biotech startup — announced something truly groundbreaking.Loyal (ODF2) has earned what they believe to be the FDA's first-ever formal acceptance that a drug can be developed and approved for lifespan extension. As Celine says in her announcement; “I started Loyal 4 years ago with the explicit goal to get the first drug FDA approved for lifespan extension itself - no disease, just healthy, longer"..."We can't start selling the drug yet - we need to complete the safety and manufacturing technical sections - but this represents the lions share of the 'existential risk' of both the drug program, and of Loyal AKA - we are doing it!!!”Laura Deming is a longevity biotech investor with an incredible batting average. 5 of 18 startups she's backed so far have gone public. She was the first investor in Loyal and had this to say:"This just dropped - the most important milestone in the history of longevity biotech. put simply, this is the FDA's first-ever formal acceptance that a drug can be developed and approved to extend lifespan. the longevity field is evolving quickly. No one I know in the field would have said this was possible 5 years ago. Celine got it done in 4. It's a massive win for both biotech founders and regulators, in establishing a pathway by which drugs (initially for dogs) can get approved for lifespan"You're about to listen to an archival interview with Celine just one and a half years into starting Loyal which is now 4 years old. It's an incredible conversation with interviewer Marshall Kosloff and shows just how much can be accomplished in a few short years.Congrats to Celine and the entire Loyal team on what is truly an unparalleled milestone.Are you exploring starting a company we've got a program for that?ODF has helped 1k companies like Loyal which was ODF2 get started and go on to raise over $2B.

In this ground-breaking episode of Green Beauty Conversations, we dive into the world of biotech beauty, a realm where the age-old practices of botanical extraction meet cutting-edge science. For millennia, the natural world provided the raw ingredients for cosmetics. The early 1900s brought chemistry to bear on ingredient manufacture, but now, with the massive rise in demand for all-natural beauty products, we are seeing demand for plant-extracted cosmetic ingredients outstripping supply. Factor in the costs to the natural world associated with growing, harvesting and processing plant-based ingredients, and you begin to realise that biotech could be the sustainable solution for the beauty industry. Biotech ingredients that mimic plant extracts like for like can scale, be created sustainably in a lab, reduce costs, claim efficacy and be high-performance cosmetic ingredient sources. Are we at the cusp of a massive shift to biotech in the cosmetics industry? Are we also about to see ingredient wars between the all-natural, plant-extracted camp and the biotech pioneers? Our guest, Josh Britton, CEO of Debut Biotech, guides us through the revolutionary changes biotechnology is bringing to the cosmetic industry. Join podcast host and Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier as she uncovers how Debut Biotech is leading the charge in this new era, transcending traditional methods to create high-performance, sustainable ingredients.

Many businesses to see AI benefits within medium term The democratization of artificial intelligence or AI has created a major tech wave for consumers. AI promises to make some businesses more efficient and even help businesses generate more revenue. We surveyed BofA Global Research analysts across the globe and found that 94% of covered companies plan to use AI to become more efficient and generate revenue. Survey participants expect 75% of companies to see positive AI benefits within the next 3-5 years. Semis, software and data centers are likely to be near-term beneficiaries according to Alkesh Shah. Many of the components needed to build data centers are produced by Alex Virgo's industrial companies. Alec Stranahan thinks AI could reduce inefficiencies within Biotech and could cut the cost of drug development in half.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily, the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. In our first news, Bayer shares fell by 20% after a study monitors halted a planned 18,000-person trial of its experimental blood thinner drug due to "inferior efficacy" compared to Eliquis. Bristol Myers is also facing a delay from the FDA on a decision regarding its cancer cell therapy. Astrazeneca has created a digital health unit called Evinova to tap into the growing market for digital health solutions. And fewer biotech companies are going public, but Carmot Therapeutics has filed plans to go public in hopes of capitalizing on investor interest in obesity medicines. Janet Woodcock, a top FDA official, will retire early next year after 37 years with the agency.Moving on to our second news, the Federal Trade Commission has filed a lawsuit to block John Muir Health's acquisition of Tenet Hospital, claiming it would reduce competition and increase prices. Mass General Brigham is being sued after potential exposure to HIV and hepatitis at Salem Hospital. Nurses and medical professionals are planning a five-day strike at HCA facilities in southern California. On the other hand, Novant Health plans to buy three Tenet hospitals in South Carolina for $2.4 billion. Telehealth is also highlighted as a growing trend for routine and mental healthcare.Next up, Bayer's investigational factor XIA inhibitor was found to be inferior to Pfizer and BMS' blood thinner Eliquis in a Phase III study. The UK's National Health Service has reached a new deal with pharmaceutical companies that doubles the annual allowed growth in sales of branded medicines. Carmot Therapeutics is planning to make its debut on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Servier is considering filing for FDA approval for its glioma candidate vorasidenib.Lastly, Biohaven aims to develop a novel drug called taldefgrobep alfa that can treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) as well as trim fat and build lean muscle mass in obese individuals. Clinical trial diversity has decreased, prompting companies to refine their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies. The development of new drugs that can address multiple health issues simultaneously shows promise for improving patient outcomes and expanding treatment options.These developments highlight the challenges faced by pharmaceutical companies in developing new drugs and the importance of partnerships between healthcare systems and industry players to advance research and improve patient outcomes.That's all for today's episode of Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay tuned for more updates.

What's the belief that's behind that? What are the behaviors that we're doing or not doing that is generating that on the back end? Is it something cultural that as an organization we have these beliefs around our industry, our product, the economy, whatever it is, that is creating those behaviors or lack thereof, that is getting the results that we're getting or not getting on the back end?" CHELSEA'S ADVICE: "Stay consistent and go in with an open mind if you're changing your sales process. Often, salespeople are close headed, “Hey, it's working,” but you're not always open to, “What else can I do to be better?” You're just scared, what could go wrong? I would certainly say be open and then be consistent."
