February 13, 2026: AI in Drug DiscoveryIt costs $2.5 billion and up to 10 years of effort to successfully bring a new drug to market.That's an extremely high hurdle to succeed!It's no wonder why the high costs of FDA trials & the elevated rates of failure often result in small-cap drug developers declaring bankruptcy. Biotechnology is one of the stock market's riskiest sectors to invest in.But what if there was a way to change that?What if we could use technology to alleviate some of the biotech industry's deepest and most systemic risks?AI doesn't necessarily produce better drugs. Though it might be able to reduce drug development costs and timelines significantly.And if it did, that would be a game-changer for the entire industry.On today's show, my special guest Manisha Samy and I will discuss how AI-native infrastructure could vastly improve the return profiles of early-stage biotech companies.Our stock of focus will be Recursion Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: RXRX) who's creatively using AI to guide several programs in its development pipeline.

Send a textDr. Karsten Eastman, Ph.D. is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sethera Therapeutics ( https://setheratx.com/ ), a company focused revolutionizing peptide-based drug development with a cutting-edge enzymatic cross-linking technology, and their platform enables the synthesis of highly stable, polymacrocyclic peptides designed to engage multiple targets simultaneously, offering unparalleled precision in therapeutic design.Trained as a chemist at the University of Utah, where he earned his PhD in 2023, Dr. Eastman has built his career at the intersection of peptide synthesis, protein engineering, and radical enzymology. His work focuses on understanding how enzymes choreograph complex molecular transformations — and then harnessing those principles to build programmable, drug-like molecules.In collaboration with researchers at the University of Utah, Dr. Eastman and his team recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a breakthrough discovery involving PapB, a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme capable of installing precise, durable thioether “staples” into peptides in a single enzymatic step. This work opens vast new chemical space for macrocyclic peptide therapeutics and offers a powerful new approach to targeting diseases long considered “undruggable.”At Sethera Therapeutics, Dr. Eastman is translating this enzymatic platform into next-generation peptide medicines that aim to combine the selectivity of biologics with the drug-like properties of small molecules.#PeptideTherapeutics #DrugDiscovery #Biotechnology #Enzymology#RadicalSAM #PapB #SetheraTherapeutics #UndruggableDiseases#MacrocyclicPeptides #Bioengineering #Therapeutics #Innovation #ScienceBreakthrough #PeptideDrugs #EnzymeTechnologySupport the show

How early in process development should you address glycosylation? This episode presents the case for co-optimizing glycan profiles with productivity from initial process characterization. Deferring glycosylation characterization until after titer targets are met introduces risk: quality attribute gaps discovered late in development force process re-optimization, extended timelines, and potential cell line reselection. Media supplementation enables earlier intervention—tuning glycan distribution as a process parameter from the beginning of cell line and media development rather than as a remediation strategy.David Brühlmann outlines the experimental protocol for validating raffinose supplementation, including decision criteria for proceeding or terminating at each development stage. The discussion addresses process design space requirements, analytical monitoring strategy, and the experimental variables that determine when media-based glycan tuning is appropriate versus when alternative approaches are needed.Highlights from the episode:When to use (and not use) raffinose in your development program, including limitations and effectiveness windows (00:30)Essential protocol: three experiments over eight weeks to validate raffinose for your process, with clear go/no-go criteria (04:09)Why individualized mannose tracking (Man5, Man6, Man7, Man8) is crucial for meaningful results (01:06)Managing osmolality: why it matters and how to control it in your experiment (04:36)Advice on scaling up: moving from small-scale screens to benchtop bioreactors and stress-testing your process (07:48)Three key mistakes to avoid when implementing raffinose, including lessons from analytical oversight, incomplete design mapping, and feed interference (09:08)Integrating glycosylation as a core part of process design, not just a secondary consideration after titer optimization (13:10)Strategic insight:Sequential optimization of productivity followed by glycosylation introduces development risk: quality attribute deviations discovered after process lockdown require costly re-optimization cycles. Parallel development of titer and glycan specifications from initial cell line characterization reduces this risk by establishing feasible operating windows early in the development timeline.Are you planning your next recombinant protein scale-up? Hear how David's rule-of-three protocol and battle-tested lessons can help you optimize faster and avoid painful late-stage surprises.Resources: Journal of Biotechnology, 2017, volume 252, pages 32 to 42Next step:Need fast CMC guidance? → Get rapid CMC decision support hereSupport the show

When your biosimilar analytical data shows 1.4% high mannose against a 6% reference product specification, you face limited options: process temperature shifts that compromise titer, kifunensine supplementation that requires extensive regulatory justification, or 12-18 months to reclone and revalidate. Media supplementation offers an alternative pathway—tuning glycan profiles through formulation adjustments rather than cell line or process re-engineering.In this episode, David Brühlmann presents the experimental development of a media supplementation strategy that achieved 2.8-fold increases in high mannose glycans across multiple CHO cell lines. Drawing from research published in the Journal of Biotechnology (2017, 252:32-42), the discussion covers the mechanism of raffinose-mediated glycan processing arrest, the experimental variables that initially obscured the effect, and the process development considerations for implementing media-based glycan tuning.The episode examines N-glycan biosynthesis in CHO cells, regulatory comparability requirements for biosimilar glycosylation profiles, and the experimental framework for evaluating media supplementation as a glycan control strategy.Highlights from the episode:The unexpected link between dietary raffinose and reduced athletic performance, and its connection to bioprocessing (01:11)A clear primer on the importance of glycosylation for biosimilar drugs and regulatory approval (02:43)Common challenges when glycan profiles don't match reference products, and why high mannose glycans matter (04:19)A review of industry strategies (temperature shifts, enzyme inhibitors, cell line reengineering) and their pitfalls (05:33)Mechanistic insights into how raffinose alters glycan processing in CHO cells (07:05)Key experimental findings on raffinose concentration, osmolality control, and practical lab troubleshooting (09:48)Application stories and regulatory considerations for implementing raffinose-based media adjustments (13:47)Closing thoughts on process optimization, regulatory impact, and what to expect in Part 2 (15:11)Strategic insight:Implementing raffinose as a media supplement is straightforward, regulatory-friendly, and cost-effective. It does not involve genetic engineering or enzyme inhibitors and is easily sourced as a GMP-grade material. For programs approaching submission with glycan comparability gaps, media-based tuning offers a process optimization pathway that maintains existing cell lines and manufacturing platforms while addressing critical quality attribute specifications.Listen to this episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast to learn David's best strategies for rapid, regulatory-friendly glycosylation control.If you want to transform your glycoengineering workflow, keep an eye (and ear) out for the next episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast.

Biotechnology is advancing faster than ever before, and the stakes have never been higher. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Cummings, lead for the Center for Health Engineering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, breaks down why the convergence of biotech and artificial intelligence is creating both unprecedented opportunities and existential risks. From gene-edited foods that could revolutionize agriculture to AI-designed viruses that could destabilize nations, Dr. Cummings explores the delicate balance between innovation and oversight. He reveals why traditional regulatory frameworks are struggling to keep pace and how "information hazards" are forcing scientists to rethink transparency itself. We dive into the ethical minefield of black-boxed AI systems, designing biological solutions, the growing trust gap between lab and consumer, and what it means when AI can "de-skill" biotechnology to the point where expertise is no longer required to create dangerous organisms.  Topics covered: CRISPR and gene editing, AI convergence, biosafety and bioweapons, public trust in GMOs, generational attitudes toward biotech, risk communication, international cooperation, and the future of governance in an accelerating technological landscape.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Jurek Kozyra, founder and CEO of Nanovery, to explore how DNA nanotechnology and AI are revolutionizing molecular medicine. Discover how tiny nanorobots made from DNA could dramatically accelerate drug development, make diagnostics faster and more affordable, and potentially cure diseases that were previously untreatable. From detecting diseases in hours instead of days to cutting years off the drug development process, this conversation reveals the cutting-edge science that's transforming healthcare. Four Key Takeaways: The Promise of Oligonucleotide Therapeutics (9:06) Traditional medicine targets defective proteins, but many diseases can't be cured because we can't find the right molecule. Oligonucleotide therapeutics target mRNA—the underlying mechanism of disease—meaning you could potentially cure all diseases since all proteins come from mRNA. DNA Nanorobots for Rapid Detection (14:12) Nanovery's DNA nanorobots can detect diseases in blood samples within 2-4 hours compared to traditional lab tests that take two days. These self-assembling machines produce fluorescent signals when they find specific DNA or RNA molecules, enabling point-of-care diagnostics. Accelerating Drug Development (17:13) Pharmaceutical companies race against 20-year patents while drugs take 10+ years to develop. Nanovery's technology provides more accurate data at lower cost and time, potentially shaving years off the development process and helping more drugs successfully reach the market. Real-World Clinical Validation (20:26) In a hospital study with 170 patient samples, Nanovery's technology delivered same or better results than traditional tests in just two hours instead of two days—a game-changer for emergency situations like drug overdoses where immediate answers are critical. Quote of the Show (9:05):"If you can target mRNA very specifically, that means that in theory you could potentially cure all diseases. That's why this area is so exciting right now." – Jurek Kozyra Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, nervous system function, and overall metabolic health, but not all B12 forms deliver equal bioavailability or stability. In Episode #196 of the PricePlow Podcast, we welcome back HTBA (HealthTech BioActives) for a comprehensive deep dive into the science behind their MecobalActive methylcobalamin ingredient and the groundbreaking clinical study that validates its efficacy in athletes who are not deficient. Joining us are Teresa Pellicer, PhD, Pharmacologist and R&D Manager in Biotechnology at HTBA, and Bernardo Gonzaga, Global Division Manager for Functional Health Solutions. This conversation builds on Episode #188 with Edwin Gonzalez, where we explored practical applications of MecobalActive in functional foods. Today, we go deeper into the molecular mechanisms, clinical evidence, bioavailability data, and manufacturing innovations that make MecobalActive a next-generation B12 solution for supplements, functional foods, and beverages. Teresa’s expertise in pharmacology and molecular biology shines as she explains why methylcobalamin represents the biologically active form your body actually uses, while Bernardo provides industry context on applications, regulatory considerations, and market opportunities.

There are financial opportunities in Latin America, silver and more and today we are going to share them with you! We also talk holiday shopping trends and the struggles of retailers in our current economy. We also dive into "confuse-opoly" industries like furniture, mattresses, and healthcare where pricing is intentionally opaque, share personal experiences with overpriced goods, and discuss how margins, supply, and consumer behavior shape retail dynamics. Today we discuss...  Buying a new house and becoming newly attentive to pricing, noting how Black Friday sales have expanded so much that they no longer feel special. How holiday traditions and retail behavior have shifted, with Christmas decorations and sales appearing earlier each year. How perpetual discounts dilute the meaning of sales and reflect retailers' struggles in a weakening, K-shaped economy. Constant "sale" pricing makes it impossible for consumers to know real value, especially in industries like furniture. We share anecdotes about mattress shopping and how identical products are given different names across stores to prevent direct price comparisons. Market charts prompt discussion on growth vs. value investing, highlighting value's long-term underperformance and its historical cyclicality. We compare current market dynamics to the late 1990s tech bubble, noting similarities in speculation and skepticism toward value investing. Latin America's unusually low valuations and strong relative performance this year are examined as a potential opportunity. Emerging markets often struggle with consistency due to currency issues, political instability, and uneven economic development. We emphasize the importance of evaluating assets in relative terms—stocks vs. dollars, gold vs. currencies, and region vs. region. How relative performance charts reveal where capital is flowing, using gold, silver, and mining stocks as examples of cycle progression. Copper miners' potential breakout is highlighted as a key signal for commodity sector strength. Markets ultimately reflect where limited investor capital is being allocated at any given moment.

Could studying the DNA of extinct animals – or even bringing them back to life – help us save today's endangered species and inform modern medicine?  That may sound like the premise for a Hollywood movie, but it's work that our Raise the Line guest, Dr. Beth Shapiro, is actually engaged in as Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, which describes itself as the world's first and only de-extinction company.  “It's not just about learning about the past. It's learning about the past so we have more validated scientific information that we can use to predict what we can do to better influence the future,” she tells host Michael Carrese. An internationally-renowned evolutionary molecular biologist and paleogeneticist, Dr. Shapiro is a pioneer in ancient DNA research and has successfully sequenced genomes, like that of the dodo, to study evolution and the impact on humans. At Colossal Biosciences, she leads teams working to bring back traits of extinct species such as the mammoth, not for spectacle, but to restore ecological balance. “When species become extinct, you lose really fundamental interactions between species that existed in that ecosystem. By taking a species that's alive today and editing its DNA so that it resembles those extinct species, we can functionally replace those missing ecological interactions.” Tune into this utterly fascinating conversation to hear about what Jurassic Park got wrong, the positive ecological impact of reintroducing giant tortoises to Mauritius, and the ethics of using gene editing and other biotechnologies. Mentioned in this episode:Colossal Biosciences If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
