Episode #359 – A Look Back on 2024 Hi I'm David Hirsch, founder of the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network as well as host of the Special Fathers Network Dad To Dad Podcast. Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2025. Tom Couch, the editor and producer of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, and I, thought we would do something special and provide a Look Back on 2024. In total we produced 72 episodes, 52 were weekly episodes airing on Fridays and for 20 weeks from May through September we produced a series of short episodes with SFN Mentor Fathers who are also involved with the SFN Mastermind Group program. We called them SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts. While we'd love to include a snippet from all 70+ episodes, to keep it more concise we decided to provide some highlights. We hope you enjoy listening to this Look Back on 2024 Episode as much as we did producing it. 18 of the 2024 guests are authors. Nine of the interviews included international guests, from the following seven countries: Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Iceland, Israel and the UK. Four of the guests are women. Three interviews were with dads who lost a child including one who was an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas terrorists. Two interviews included military veterans: a former U.S. Navy Seal and a U.S. Air Force Vietnam-era combat pilot. And one of the guests is a Native American. The episodes also spanned a very broad range of disabilities including; Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rare Disease, Dwarfism as well as those who are blind, deaf and missing a limb(s). Here is a brief month by month recap with a clip from a select number of episodes. In January, we aired four episodes including a dad from the UK and one from the Cayman Islands as well as with Jonathan Eig, father to three, including a son whose parents passed away at an early age. Jon is also the best-selling author of biographies on: Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and MLK. In February, we aired four episodes including one with Dave Jereb of Sydney, Australia, a Physical Therapist, co-founder of Move About Therapies and author of the book: Challenging The Story. We also did a two-episode story with filmmaker Bob Manganelli, whose 23 year old deaf son, very tragically committed suicide, while at Gallaudet University back in 2014. In March, we produced five episodes including a two-episode interview with Keith Harris of Albuquerque, NM who is a retired business owner and father of four, including son Tim who has Down Syndrome. He and Tim owned and operated the restaurant Tim's Place for five years. Tim also went on to author The Book of Hugs, a children's book. In April, we aired four episodes including one with Jonathan Bennett of Ontario Canada, who is an executive leadership coach, author and father of two, including one with Autism who is also non-binary. In May, we did six episodes including one with Dr. Greg Pursley of Jackson, MO who is a chiropractor, owner of PC Medical Centers, an author and father of two, including a son who has Dwarfism. We also interviewed John Borling of Rockford, IL who is a retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force. John was a combat pilot in Vietnam who flew 97 missions before being shot down and held hostage for six years, eight months at the Infamous Hanoi Hilton. And we interviewed Jon Ghahate a Pueblo Indian from Placitas, NM who is a Vietnam-er veteran and father of three, including a daughter who is sight impaired. In June, we produced eight episodes including four SFN Mastermind Group Monday interviews with testimonials about their mastermind group experiences. One was with John Shouse of Franklin, TN an industrial control engineer and father of three including twin boys, one of which, Evan, is Autistic. John and his wife, Janet, have been leaders in the disability community throughout TN and John has been involved with the Tuesday night Mastermind group for nearly three years. We also interviewed Paul Briggs of Falling Waters, WV, who is the father of 38. No this was not a typographical error or some misstatement. Paul and his wife, Jeanne, have six biological kids and 32 adopted children including: 13 from Ghana, 10 from Ukraine, six from Russia, two from Bulgaria and one from Mexico. In July, we did nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday interviews. We also interviewed Kelley Coleman of Los Angeles, CA, a mother of two, a disability advocate, and author of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports. We also interviewed Sam Farmer of North Easton, MA who is the father of a son with Autism and later in life was also diagnosed with Asperger's. Sam is also the author of A Long Walk Down A Winding Road and has become one of the more well recognized self-advocates in the Autism community. We also Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL in a two-part interview. Al is a retired aerospace executive and he and his wife, Rosemary, have 22 children including four biologic kids and 17 adopted kids, and one they parented. In August, we aired nine episodes including four Mastermind Group Monday episodes, including one with Tom Costello of Frankfort, IL who is the father of twin 21-year-old boys who are Autistic. Tom and his wife Irene created the Twin Autism Foundation and have been outspoken advocates for those diagnosed with ASD. We also interviewed Alvin Green of Chicago who is a retired Chef. Alvin and his wife, Angela Ferguson, have two boys including Aiden who is Autistic. To provide Aiden with some career skills and to support himself, Alvin founded Al's Cookie Mixx, a premium online cookie business that employs individuals who have intellectual disabilities. In September, we produced nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday episodes and one with Agust Kristmanns of Reykjavik, Iceland who is the father of three including son, Ingi, who has 2Q37 Deletion syndrome, a rare chromosome condition that affects his development. We also interviewed Jonathan Polin who is an Israeli-American. Jonathan and his wife, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, became some of the most outspoken advocates speaking out about the urgency behind releasing the Israelis being held hostage by Hamas. They met with the Pope at the Vatican and President Biden at the White House. They spoke at the United Nations in Geneva and at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. I interviewed Jonathan on day 328 of their son Hersh's captivity and very sadly, just days later we learned about Hamas murdering six of the hostages including Hersh. In October, we aired five episodes including one with Dr. Ruslan Vasyutin who is a single Ukrainian father to 12 year old daughter Alicia, who has Cerebral Palsy and unable to walk or talk. They are currently living in Solihull, England after fleeing Kiev in February 2022 after the Russia invasion of Ukraine. We also interviewed Andrew Bustamante of Colorado Springs, CO who is the father of two young children. Andrew and his wife, Jihi, are both x-CIA undercover intelligence officers and hosts of the EverydaySpy Podcast. It was a fascinating conversation about utilizing CIA tactics to overcome adversity. In November, we produced five episodes including one with fellow podcaster daughter-father team: Reena Friedman Watts and her father Wayne, who produce the Better Call Daddy Podcast. We also interviewed Todd Evans of Brentwood, TN who is an entrepreneur. He and his wife Kristin have two children with disability and are the co-authors of How To Build A Thriving Marriage As You Care For Children With Disabilities. And in December we did four episodes including one with former U.S. Navy Seal Phillip Koontz who is a business owner, leadership coach and speaker, father of five including an Autistic son and author of the book: The Truth Behind My Trident, which provides a fascinating look behind the curtain of the life as a U.S. Navy Seal. We also interviewed Emma Livingstone of London, England who is the mother of three typical kids, who herself has Cerebral Palsy and is founder and CEO of UP - The Adult Movement For Adults With Cerebral Palsy. All in all 2024 was an extraordinary year for the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network.

English Version - In April 2023, our host David Hirsch traveled to Cuba with Joni and Friends, as one of 12 U.S. volunteers participating in a Wheels For The World Program, to fit and distribute 200+ wheelchairs to youth and adults, who might not otherwise experience mobility. This week's guest is Leonardo Cespedes of Bayamo, Cuba, a Baptist Preacher and father of two including a son with intellectual and physical disabilities. Leonardo and his wife, Mairelis, have been married for 26 years and are the proud parents of two; daughter Reveca (23) who is a teacher, and son Marko (20) who has undiagnosed intellectual disabilities, suffers from seizures and is hard of hearing. Marko was one of the recipients of a wheelchair. During his visit, David spoke with and recorded interviews with two Cubans connected to the disability community in Cuba.

Many of the 700+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do.

This month as part of our Carrier Connections program, we are discussing navigating romantic relationships as a female impacted by X-linked disease. In this episode, Remember The Girls founder, Taylor Kane, brings on her partner of 5 years to discuss how Taylor being a carrier of ALD has impacted their relationship. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Horizon Therapeutics, Sanofi, and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical. For more information about our organization, check out rememberthegirls.org.
Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls. This month, we are featuring Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS). LNS is an X-linked disorder caused by a mutation in the gene, HPRT1, which plays a critical role in the body's ability to process purines. With the recycling of purines involved in the production of uric acid, this deficiency or complete lack of function in the HPRT1 gene in individuals with LNS results in excess amounts of uric acid in the body. This buildup of uric acid has many toxic effects on the body, contributing to a variety of neurological and behavioral issues. Perhaps most notably, individuals with LNS suffer from self-mutilative behaviors that tend to manifest around the age of two or three. Today, we are bringing on Gaby Ponce. Gaby Ponce is from Mexico and mother to Antonio, who has Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. She is the director of the Fundación Amor y Fuerz Lesch Nyhan. The foundation supports 11 families here in Mexico and helps them access medication, rehab therapy online, checkups every six months with a nephrologist and neurologist, dental extraction surgeries, wheelchairs, and more. They work with Love Never Sinks in the United States and Lesch Nyhan Action in France to advocate for a gene therapy treatment. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Horizon Therapeutics, Sanofi, and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical. For more information about our organization, check out rememberthegirls.org.

She loves to spend time with her husband and their two Saint Bernard's. She founded the nonprofit organization Love Never Sinks and served as the CEO from 2013-2021. She continues to advocate for others with LNS, trying to bring awareness, togetherness, and hopefully one day, a treatment.

Each month, our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition with the goal to increase awareness and education of X-linked conditions and how they impact females. This month, we are featuring X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). XLI is a rare X-linked condition caused by a deficiency in the enzyme steroid sulfatase which, under normal conditions, functions to maintain the integrity of the skin. In individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, this protein's normal function is interrupted, causing cholesterol to accumulate and the shedding of dead skin cells to be prevented. Previous work into the condition, led by Dr. William Davies and colleagues, has shown that individuals with XLI are substantially more likely than non-affected individuals to present with developmental disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and autism. Today, we are joined by Dr. William Davies! Dr. Davies is interested in the (epi)genetic mechanisms underlying sex differences in brain function and behavior. His work focusses on the role of genes on the sex chromosomes (i.e. the X and Y), which are asymmetrically inherited between the sexes. A principal aim of his research is to elucidate why the sexes are differentially vulnerable to common and disabling disorders such as autism and ADHD, and ultimately to help develop more effective sex-specific therapies. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Horizon Therapeutics, Sanofi, and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical. For more information about our organization, check out rememberthegirls.org.

Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls. This month, we are featuring Hunter syndrome. Hunter syndrome is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of the iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme, an essential protein required for sugar breakdown. As a result, a specific type of sugar molecule, glycosaminoglycans (GAG), builds up in the cell, causing widespread issues in the physical and mental development of individuals affected by this syndrome. Today, we are bringing on Cristol O'Loughlin, founder & CEO of ANGEL AID CARES and a carrier of Hunter syndrome. Cristol is fiercely passionate about providing social, emotional, physical and financial relief to Raregivers™ ~ patients, caregivers, and professionals who hold both hope and grief in the same human heart. Carrier Connections is sponsored by Horizon Therapeutics, Sanofi, and Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical. For more information about our organization, check out rememberthegirls.org.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world. Today's episode covers a range of updates in the industry.First, we turn our attention to the commercial hurdles facing RSV vaccines. Public health officials and drugmakers are working to raise awareness of RSV among older adults at risk. They are also encouraging them to get an additional respiratory shot alongside those for COVID-19 and flu. This rollout poses a test for the industry.In a recent House hearing, the pharmacy benefit manager lobby PCMA and drugmaker lobby PhRMA traded blame over problems in the prescription supply chain. They discussed the high costs of drugs and the role that PBMs play in driving up prices. This ongoing debate highlights the challenges within the industry.Moving on, Alvotech has received a new FDA review for its biosimilar of Humira. The regulator had previously rejected Alvotech's copycat drug due to manufacturing issues with a plant in Europe. This new review brings hope for Alvotech's biosimilar.Novartis has canceled its partnership with Beigene as its cancer drug gains EU approval. This decision leaves Novartis without a PD-1 inhibitor, marking a significant development for the company.Orchard is nearing an FDA decision on its rare disease gene therapy, Libmeldy. Three years after gaining European approval, Libmeldy is now under review in the US. This therapy has the potential to make a difference in the lives of patients.Shifting gears, an FDA panel has backed Alnylam's drug Onpattro for cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis, despite doubts over its benefit. This endorsement provides support for this drug's use in treating this condition.We also have various resources for further reading and upcoming events available. Check out Biopharma Dive and its publications for more information.In another news story, Roche's Genentech has partnered with PeptiDream to develop targeted radioisotopes for certain cancers. This collaboration expands their efforts in radiopharmaceuticals and shows promise for future treatments.Taysha has made the decision to drop its lead gene therapy, TSHA-120, following feedback from the FDA. The agency proposed additional studies that Taysha determined would be too challenging to pursue. Additionally, Taysha's partner, Astellas, has declined to pick up an option for the therapy. These developments mark a setback for Taysha.The FDA has also rejected ARS Pharmaceuticals' Neffy as a nasal spray for allergic reactions. Despite receiving backing from the Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee, this rejection is a setback for ARS. The nasal spray was seen as an alternative to the EpiPen for severe allergic reactions.In other news, Genentech and PeptiDream have signed a potential $1 billion deal for the development of macrocyclic peptide-radioisotope drug conjugates. This partnership has the potential to advance cancer treatments and improve patient outcomes.Recode Therapeutics has raised $260 million in a series B financing round to advance its mRNA therapies. This funding will support further development in this promising field.The clearance of the Amgen-Horizon merger has been seen as a setback to the FTC's antitrust enforcement plans. The consent agreement between Amgen, Horizon Therapeutics, and the FTC could have significant implications for future merger and acquisition challenges.Lastly, Verisim Life has released an ebook on how artificial intelligence can transform R&D with early-stage translational insights in model-informed drug development. This resource provides valuable information on the potential of AI in drug development.That's all for today's episode. Thank you for tuning in to Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay informed and stay ahead in the industry.

Constructing deal terms to take advantage of both the translational research benefits in China and the market opportunity in the U.S. is slowly emerging as a strategy to advance CAR T cell innovation. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's editors discuss how deals for the technology have evolved since the 2017 partnership between Legend and Janssen for Carvykti and the opportunity for East-West collaborations to drive CAR T cell development.BioCentury's editors also assess why the FTC made a deal with Amgen that will allow the company's $27.8 billion acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics to proceed, and how an agreement by Regeneron on international pricing of a COVID-19 mAb could clear the path to confirmation of Monica Bertagnolli as the next NIH director.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has allowed Amgen's $28 billion acquisition of Horizon to proceed, with conditions. This settlement may ease concerns about regulatory hurdles for future deals in the industry. However, FDA documents suggest that Sage's depression drug, zurzuvae, may face challenges in obtaining broad approval due to concerns about side effects. On a positive note, Roche has claimed success in a study for its targeted lung cancer drug, Alecensa, with unprecedented results. This could make Alecensa the first treatment specifically available after surgery for ALK-positive lung tumors.In terms of investment, Julie Yoo from venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz believes that the healthcare industry is at an inflection point and compared it to the internet era of 1999. Biotech mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is also picking up again, with Amgen's acquisition of Horizon set to become the largest industry deal since AstraZeneca's buyout of Alexion. Drug pricing in the US is also a trending topic, with launch prices steadily rising in certain therapeutic areas like cancer.Moving on to policy news, the Biden administration has proposed new nursing home staffing minimums to improve the quality of care in these facilities. Walgreens CEO Roz Brewer is stepping down and will be replaced by an executive with "deep healthcare experience." Amir Dan Rubin, CEO of One Medical, is also resigning from his position. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology has chosen the Sequoia Project to oversee the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) once again.In other updates, Roz Brewer's sudden departure from Walgreens has left many wondering about the reason behind it. Psycheceutical is developing a topical delivery technology for ketamine, which could have broader implications for other drugs. Ketamine has shown promise in treating mental health conditions such as treatment-resistant depression. J&J's Spravato, an FDA-approved drug for treatment-resistant depression, is administered nasally, but clinicians believe that intravenous ketamine is more effective. Psycheceutical aims to explore the potential relief provided by applying ketamine topically on the back of the neck.The rare disease market has seen significant growth in recent years, with pharmaceutical companies exploring treatments for these conditions. Ketamine's effectiveness in battling mental health conditions is being recognized, shifting its perception from a party drug to a potential therapeutic option. The text also mentions upcoming events and recent articles on various topics.In regulatory news, the FTC has given clearance for Amgen's acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, subject to certain restrictions. Alvotech has resubmitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA seeking an interchangeable designation for its biosimilar of Humira. Lawmakers have called on Lilly, Novo Nordisk, and Sanofi to provide details on their insulin assistance programs. Alkermes has settled a patent lawsuit with Teva over the generic version of Vivitrol. Biontech and DualityBio are moving their antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) into Phase III trials for HER2-low breast cancer.Lastly, Bayer has reported positive early data for a Parkinson's cell therapy treatment it acquired in 2019. Epigenic, a Chinese startup, has raised funds to use CRISPR tools to edit the epigenome and alter gene expression without changing DNA. Catalent, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), is expanding its board and setting up a committee to review its business and capital allocation priorities. Several biotech companies have made advancements in constructing small-molecule drugs to target RNA, revolutionizing the industry.These developments highlight significant activities in the p

While Horizon Therapeutics has made plenty of waves in the biotech news cycle of late. While perhaps not as flashy as a perilous multibillion dollar acquisition deal or potential blockbuster readout, its formal establishment of a research team – comparatively pragmatic as that may be – could have long-term consequences that are just impactful. On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, we dig into why the company chose to establish a research function, learn why it chose Dr. Robert Stoffel, Ph.D. to run it, and get a step-by-step explainer on how Stoffel went about establishing the department, setting its goals and strategy, staffing it, and integrating it across teams at the fast-rising biopharmaceutical company.
