Send us Fan MailIn her memoir, Lady MacGyver, Michelle Huntington shares everything from ferry flights across oceans to surviving a lightning strike over Australia's Snowy Mountains, building an airline career after being told women couldn't be pilots, motherhood, breast cancer, and the mindset that carried her through it all. Our discussion explores those experiences, along with her writing process, her philosophy of "keep going until you can't," and even a friendly debate about the word aviatrix.But when we chatted, I hadn't finished the book yet. Without spoiling the ending, I'll simply say that the final chapters gave me an even deeper appreciation for Michelle's courage and reminded me that the barriers women face in aviation are far more recent, and far more persistent, than we'd like to believe.Lady MacGyver needs to be on every aviation company CEO's, COO's, and Human Resources Manager's reading list.

In this explainer episode, we've asked Ella Davyson, Genomics Data Scientist, to explain the meaning of the term genomics. You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel. If you've got any questions, or have any other topics you'd like us to explain, let us know on podcast@genomicsengland.co.uk. You can download the transcript or read it below. [00:00:00] Florence: What is genomics? My name is Florence Cornish, and today I'm joined by Ella Davyson, who is a genomics data scientist here at Genomics England, and she is here to explain the topic in much more detail So, Ella, we obviously both work at Genomics England. This podcast is called Genomics 101, so I guess it's fitting that we have an episode dedicated to explaining the term 'genomics'. [00:00:26] But before we get into that, I think it would be good if you could first explain what we mean by the term 'genome'. [00:00:32] Ella: Thanks, Florence. The genome is, essentially you can think of it like a manual booklet, or instructions that the body uses in how to grow, survive, and function, and this is a manual that's in every single cell within our body, and it tells our cells exactly how to divide, how to survive. [00:00:54] For example, the genome in the pancreas, in pancreatic cells will tell those cells how to produce proteins such as insulin that we need to control our blood sugar. And also, the genome within our eye cells will tell the cells how to generate photoreceptors to enable us to see. So the genome is essentially like the ultimate guide that our body uses to tell it how to create everything that we need to survive going forwards. [00:01:25] Florence: So then, what do we mean by the term 'genomics'? [00:01:30] Ella: So, genomics is essentially the study of the entire human genome. So we study its structure and also how it functions, in terms of how is this instruction manual being read by the body, and how does that result in healthy human beings that we see today. [00:01:48] Florence: So when we're talking about studying DNA, lots of our listeners might have heard the term 'genetics', which kind of also refers to the study of DNA and genes, so it might be a little bit confusing. [00:01:58] So what's the difference between the two? What's the difference between genetics and genomics? [00:02:04] Ella: So genetics is specifically the study of genes in the genome, and genes are part of the instruction manual, that specifically tell the body to produce a certain thing. So, in our insulin example, there is an INS gene, so, which is the gene in the genome or the instruction manual that specifically tells the cells to make insulin and to produce this product. [00:02:30] There are many different genes in our genome, and genetics is the study of all of these. In contrast, genomics is the study of the entire instruction manual altogether, so that includes all of the genes in genetics and also everything else in the manual. So, genetics is limited to the study of these parts of the manual that clearly encode certain proteins or products such as insulin. Genomics is the study of everything all at once, everything under the bathroom sink. So yeah, the confusion I think can arise a lot because historically when we first started looking at DNA and researching genetics, we didn't have the technology to look at the whole genome all at once, and with older sequencing technologies we would focus on particular genes that we knew important for certain diseases. [00:03:19] So in diabetes, for example, they would instead specifically look at the insulin gene and see how does this influence diabetes, rather than looking at the entire instruction manual at once. Nowadays, we do have that technology, and that is what we do here at Genomics England, just use that to look at the entire genome rather than specific subsets of the genome, so specific genes. [00:03:45] We can look at everything in its entirety. So, you can kind of think of genomics as a much broader, more complete study of genetics. [00:03:56] Florence: So speaking of genomic testing, I don't know if you saw, but in the government's 10-year Health Plan that they published last year, they predicted that genomics could play a role in up to 50% of healthcare interactions. [00:04:08] Could you tell me a bit about why genomics is important in healthcare? [00:04:12] Ella: So that's a really exciting point, and I think one that we should be all striving towards. So, genomics can play a role in healthcare in so many different ways. I think before going into each of them, it's kind of maybe important just to illustrate that our genomes between two, two people are 99.9% the same. [00:04:38] So we're both humans. We are both the same species. There is 0.1% difference between two people's genomes, and those differences underlie all the uniqueness that makes a person a unique individual. [00:04:54] So personality, appearance and also risk to different health and disease outcomes. So that is where the role of genomics can come in, is to understand how the differences between people and their genetic makeup can influence maybe their risk for being more predisposed to developing a condition. Conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis or Huntington's disease that are specifically caused by genetic variants or mutations in genes that directly cause the condition. So it's a bit more maybe obvious, if you like, about how studying genetics in those, in those conditions can directly inform on how they arise, potential ways that we can better treat them. [00:05:52] So another way that genomics can be used in healthcare is through screening. So this is being piloted at the moment in the Generation Study by Genomics England which is applying whole genome sequencing to newborn babies to look for a range of conditions which are caused by genetic changes, all of which are treatable. [00:06:13] But importantly, screening will enable clinicians and families to know about these conditions much earlier and start life-changing treatment much, much sooner. So this is kind of already beginning to be, I think it will be showcased with this study in the next couple of years and the power of this in healthcare, I think can't really be overestimated. [00:06:40] Florence: And finally, just to finish off, is there anything coming up in the field of genomics that you're especially excited about? [00:06:48] Ella: There are loads of different things that I'm excited about in the field of genomics. I think probably maybe one that's most kind of relevant to clinical care is the possibility of doing more personalised medicine with treatments. [00:07:05] Often, at the moment, we majority have kind of one treatment for all when treating certain conditions, and sometimes these treatments aren't tolerated well by some people, and also some of these treatments just don't work well in some people as well. Sometimes there's a clear reason for these things, but more often than not, it's not entirely clear why some people might benefit more for some treatments or some people don't respond or don't react well to some treatments as well. [00:07:35] And understanding more, so there's a whole field about how genomics interacts with drugs and medicines, which is called pharmacogenomics, and its aim is to understand which medicine might be most effective or well-tolerated in certain people based on their genetics. And I think that will be kind of life-changing as well for some people, who are suffering from diseases where the medication is either not effective enough or is also affecting their quality of life. [00:08:10] Florence: Mm-hmm. [00:08:10] Ella: Because that is a whole other part of it as well is that sometimes these treatments for certain conditions are really hard to tolerate. [00:08:19] Other things that I'm excited about are just the technologies that are coming out at the moment mean that we can measure and understand a whole lot more about genomics than we used to be. So now we can say this gene is influencing this disease, but sometimes, you know, it's more complicated, and we now have the technology to measure all sorts of different things, so how our environment can influence our genes and how our genes react with each other. [00:08:57] So we're just getting, we're getting able to look at more and more, and I think we'll expand our understanding in a lot of conditions that unfortunately aren't very simple. [00:09:12] Florence: Well, I think we'll finish there. Thank you so much, Ella, for coming on and for taking the time to explain genomics to us. [00:09:18] Ella: Thank you, Florence. Thanks so much for inviting me, and it was a pleasure to be on the podcast today.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of transformative updates and strategic shifts within the industry, reflecting both remarkable progress and inherent challenges. Sanofi's recent achievement marks a significant milestone in oncology with the FDA approval of Sarclisa Escena (isatuximab) as the first on-body injector for multiple myeloma treatment. This monoclonal antibody, targeting CD38, offers a novel subcutaneous delivery method, simplifying administration and potentially enhancing patient compliance by reducing the need for frequent clinic visits. This aligns with the industry's ongoing shift towards patient-friendly drug delivery systems, emphasizing convenience without compromising efficacy. In another promising development, GSK and Hansoh Pharmaceutical have reported positive results from their Phase 3 trial evaluating risvutatug rezetecan for small cell lung cancer. This antibody-drug conjugate, targeting B7-H3, has shown potential when combined with chemotherapy to extend patient survival. Given the aggressive nature of small cell lung cancer and limited treatment options, these findings underscore the potential of targeted therapies to improve clinical outcomes significantly. Forte Biosciences' FB102 also takes a spotlight in clinical advancements. In its Phase 1b trial for vitiligo, FB102 demonstrated a 45.8% placebo-adjusted benefit. This monoclonal antibody works by modulating immune responses through the IL-15 pathway via CD122, offering new hope for patients with this challenging autoimmune condition. On the regulatory front, ARPA-H's commitment of up to $160 million towards developing personalized genetic medicines for rare diseases is noteworthy. This investment is set to accelerate innovations in gene therapy and personalized medicine platforms. Such advancements promise to revolutionize pediatric care and extend beyond by tailoring treatments to individual genetic profiles, enhancing efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. Strategic collaborations continue to reshape the industry landscape. Rani Therapeutics' partnership with PegBio aims at advancing oral delivery systems for obesity and metabolic diseases. Similarly, Simcere Pharmaceutical's collaboration with Schrödinger leverages AI-driven drug discovery efforts. These alliances highlight an increased reliance on computational platforms to streamline therapeutic development processes. From a financial perspective, Mesoblast Limited reports substantial revenue from its cell therapy product Ryoncil, signaling strong commercial viability for cell-based treatments targeting rare diseases. Additionally, Cue Biopharma's successful $50 million fundraising underscores investor confidence in advancing therapies for immunological disorders. However, not all news is positive. Roche has decided to halt two programs targeting Huntington's disease due to inadequate efficacy and safety concerns. This decision reflects the complexities involved in developing effective treatments for neurological disorders—a field fraught with scientific challenges yet rich with potential rewards. In market dynamics, McKinsey's report advocates for a structural redesign of biopharmaceutical R&D to fully leverage AI's capabilities. This recommendation resonates with current industry trends focusing on strategic innovation to maximize efficiency and discovery potential. The FDA's third rejection of Hengrui Pharma and Elevar Therapeutics' combination therapy for liver cancer underscores the rigorous scrutiny such treatments face despite their promise in addressing complex cancers. In contrast, BioNTech's preparation to launch its HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) signifies its strategic pivot back towards oncology after mRNA vaccine successes. Bayer's decision to sell a minority stake in its contraceptives business demonstrates how companies are strategically realigning portfolios to focus on core areas while securing funding for innovation. This move reflects broader trends within pharma as companies navigate financial landscapes to support long-term research goals. Amid these developments, regulatory environments continue evolving. NICE's stance against future Lumakras reimbursement in the UK highlights ongoing challenges in balancing cost-effectiveness with access to innovative therapies. Meanwhile, ARPA-H's significant funding allocation signals robust governmental support for advancing precision medicine within genetic therapies. In conclusion, today's updates reveal an industry characterized by a relentless pursuit of innovation amidst complex regulatory landscapes. As companies navigate these dynamics through strategic collaborations and scientific breakthroughs, their efforts hold promise for enhancing patient care across diverse therapeutic areas globally. Stay tuned as we continue to track these exciting developments shaping the future of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.

Dr. Jess Peatross trained in conventional medicine and worked as a hospitalist before she started questioning why so many chronically ill patients kept getting worse inside the healthcare system she trusted. Her perspective carries weight because she spent years following every protocol exactly as taught before walking away from hospital medicine entirely.Raised in Huntington, West Virginia during the opioid crisis, she entered medicine believing the system existed to heal people. Instead, she found hospitals driven by billing codes, liability management, and pharmaceutical dependence while patients with chronic illness, autoimmune disease, mold exposure, and chronic pain cycled endlessly through appointments and prescriptions.Dr. Peatross explains what pushed her toward functional medicine, cannabis therapy, and prevention focused care after watching patients improve only after leaving conventional treatment pipelines behind. The conversation tackles physician burnout, chronic illness stigma, healthcare incentives, and the growing collapse of trust between patients and institutions.The discussion also moves into supplements, environmental toxins, ultra processed food, and the uncomfortable economics behind keeping people permanently sick but continuously billable. Dr. Peatross describes the professional backlash that comes with challenging medical orthodoxy while Matthew connects her experience to the broader erosion of public trust across American healthcare.Together they unpack what happens when patients stop believing the system can help them and start searching elsewhere for answers.RELATED LINKSDr. Jess PeatrossInstagramMarshall UniversityBrave New WeedFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a wave of exciting advancements and strategic movements shaping the landscape of this ever-evolving industry. Starting with a significant breakthrough in cell therapy, the FDA has granted approval to Orca Bio's Tregzi, a novel treatment aimed at preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in blood cancer patients undergoing allogeneic transplants. This approval emphasizes the potential of regulatory T cells in mitigating the severe complications that often accompany such transplants. The success of Tregzi not only marks a pivotal moment for cell therapy but also heralds a new era in transplant medicine where cellular therapies can significantly improve patient outcomes by reducing GVHD incidence. In other strategic moves, Ipsen's acquisition of Memo Therapeutics for up to $796 million highlights the industry's focus on addressing unmet needs in transplant medicine. Memo's work on monoclonal antibodies targeting the BK virus—a significant threat to kidney transplant patients—reflects a growing trend towards personalized medicine and targeted biologics. This acquisition is poised to bring much-needed therapeutic interventions to market, underscoring the sector's commitment to innovative solutions. Meanwhile, Anthropic is making waves with the introduction of Claude Science AI Workbench, accompanied by an internal drug discovery program aimed at neglected diseases. This initiative underscores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in drug discovery, particularly in areas previously overlooked due to limited commercial incentives. By accelerating the identification and development of novel therapeutics, AI-driven platforms promise breakthroughs in treating rare and neglected diseases. In clinical trial news, Abivax has reported promising Phase 3 safety data for obefazimod, a miR-124 enhancer targeting ulcerative colitis. By alleviating previous cancer-related concerns, obefazimod stands out as a potential small molecule oral therapy for autoimmune conditions. This advancement demonstrates ongoing innovation in small molecule therapeutics designed to modulate immune responses, expanding treatment options for ulcerative colitis patients. On the financial front, several companies are bolstering their pipelines through significant funding efforts. Alvotech has secured a $75 million term loan to enhance its biosimilar pipeline, reflecting the increasing importance of cost-effective biologic alternatives. AB Science has raised approximately $2.62 million focusing on oncology and rare diseases like acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Additionally, Flare Therapeutics' $85 million Series C round emphasizes precision medicine approaches targeting transcription factors, illustrating the industry's dedication to precision medicine. Regulatory landscapes are also shifting with Sarepta Therapeutics' FDA acceptance for full approval bids on Amondys 45 and Vyondys 53 despite confirmatory trial challenges. These therapies leverage exon skipping technology for Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment, highlighting the intricate balance between accelerated approvals and robust clinical evidence requirements. In mergers and acquisitions news, Kimball Electronics' acquisition of Helvoet Polymer Technologies expands their drug delivery systems capabilities across Europe and India. This strategic alignment reflects broader industry trends towards integrated service offerings and global expansion efforts. Regulatory challenges continue with leadership changes at the FDA as Vijay Kumar steps down amid ongoing turbulence within gene and cell therapy sectors. Additionally, Angitia Biopharmaceuticals' termination of its Phase 3 trial for its BMP-6 candidate illustrates inherent risks and strategic pivots often necessary in drug development. Turning our focus globally, China's approval of its first CAR-T therapy for solid tumors signals a pivotal moment in oncology. This milestone could spur similar advancements worldwide, particularly drawing interest on when such treatments might receive approval in other regions like the United States. Moderna's expansion into in vivo CAR-T therapies for autoimmune diseases further marks a strategic divergence from traditional approaches, aiming to create off-the-shelf solutions that redefine treatment paradigms. Gene therapy continues to gain traction as Uniqure navigates regulatory reversals from the FDA regarding its Huntington's disease gene therapy filing for accelerated approval. This development hints at a broader shift within regulatory bodies towards fostering innovation in rare disease treatments under new leadership directives. Industry-wide trends also reveal a notable shift towards automation in cell therapy production led by companies like Cellares and Ori. This reflects growing demands for scalable manufacturing processes that enhance production capabilities while reducing costs.

S2 Ep84: Beyond Seizures: Phenobarbital's Clinically Significant Interaction Profile

Pharmacy Focus

To open the episode, Erica Marini, PharmD, discussed a roundup of FDA and research updates in neurology. She covered the shifting accelerated-approval pathway for AMT-130 (uniQure), a gene therapy for Huntington disease, and a similar back-and-forth for a Hunter syndrome gene therapy. She also noted an expanded indication for olezarsen (Tryngolza; Ionis Pharmaceuticals) in severe hypertriglyceridemia, a UK study linking hypotension to Alzheimer risk, and data suggesting shingles vaccination may lower dementia risk in Medicare beneficiaries. From the American Headache Society meeting, she highlighted phase 2b data on the TRPM8 agonist elismotrep (Kallyope), and the anti-PACAP antibody bocunebart (Lundbeck) for migraine, along with retrospective findings tying CGRP monoclonal antibodies to increased fracture risk and higher odds of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy.The core interview featured Adrian Wong, PharmD, MPH, BCCCP; and Cayley Krkljes, PharmD, BCPS, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center who discussed a systematic review published in Pharmacotherapy of clinically significant drug-drug interactions with phenobarbital and primidone. Wong and Krkljes described growing use of phenobarbital for alcohol withdrawal and note that health care professionals often underappreciate its interaction potential despite it being a well-known enzyme inducer. Key findings included an induction onset of 24 hours to 30 days and an offset of 2 to 8 weeks, findings that carry particular weight for transitions of care since inpatient dosing effects can persist well after discharge. The most clinically impactful interactions involved anticoagulants (warfarin and direct oral anticoagulants [DOACs]), methadone, and immunosuppressants, with approximately 85% of reviewed studies reporting some outcome impact. They also pushed back on recent social media claims that phenobarbital-DOAC interactions are not clinically relevant, pointing out methodological limitations in the studies behind that claim.The conversation moved into practical risk stratification: The guests described considering a patient's individual risk factors—such as recent thrombosis, transplant status, or opioid use disorder treatment with methadone or buprenorphine—before choosing phenobarbital over benzodiazepines for alcohol withdrawal. They outlined next steps for research, including studying real-world outcomes in high-risk medication combinations and surveying health care professional awareness of these interactions to identify education gaps. The episode closed with career advice for pharmacists interested in research—start small, find mentors, and leverage institutional resources.Key Takeaways: Phenobarbital's interaction risk is widely underrecognized. Despite growing use for alcohol withdrawal, phenobarbital's enzyme-inducing effects can persist for weeks after the last dose (onset 24 hours to 30 days; offset 2 to 8 weeks), making transitions of care a critical window for catching interactions—especially with anticoagulants, methadone, and immunosuppressants, which accounted for the most clinically impactful outcomes in the review. Not all "reassuring" data holds up under scrutiny. Wong and Krkljes challenged circulating social media claims that phenobarbital-DOAC interactions aren't clinically relevant, noting the studies behind those claims had methodological limitations, emphasizing the importance of evaluating primary literature rather than secondhand interpretations. Risk stratification should guide phenobarbital use. Individual patient factors (eg, recent thrombosis, transplant status, or opioid use disorder treatment with methadone or buprenorphine) should inform whether phenobarbital or a benzodiazepine is the safer choice for alcohol withdrawal management.

AbbVie keeps M&A rolling, FDA's reversal train chugs along, BIO 2026 dispatch, more

This year has been partly defined by a return to M&A. In the first quarter of 2026, biopharma spent nearly $47 billion in acquisitions across 19 deals, and this week, AbbVie notched another one for the second quarter, scooping up Apogee Therapeutics and its IL-23 blocker for atopic dermatitis for around $10.9 billion. The deal follows GSK's $10.6 billion Nuvalent Bio acquisition earlier this month. These deals come as several big pharmas face patent cliffs. Sanofi, for example, will lose patent protection on Dupixent in 2031. New CEO Belén Garijo made a major play to build out Sanofi's pipeline this week, announcing that Xaira veteran Paulo Fontoura will step in as R&D chief as Houman Ashrafian exits.  Another key trend over the past 18 months has been regulatory uncertainty. This trend continues, with both uniQure and REGENXBIO announcing FDA reversals for their gene therapies for Huntington's disease and Hunter syndrome, respectively. Both companies will submit for approval of their products—a first submission for uniQure and a resubmission for REGENXBIO—in the third quarter, after the agency, under the leadership of acting commissioner Kyle Diamantas, deemed their current data sufficient. Also at the FDA, a policy memo on the agency's consideration of Sanofi's Commissioner's Priority Review Voucher for type 1 diabetes drug Tzield threw more fire on the CNPV program, which has already been mired in controversy. And the agency debuted an investigational new drug pilot program that would leverage collaborations with U.S. research institutions to reduce early trial timelines by as much as 12 months. For a special treat, we heard from BioSpace Managing Editor Jef Akst and Senior Editor Annalee Armstrong who are currently in San Diego enjoying BIO 2026. And finally, on the Eli Lilly front, a new report from Evaluate projects that the company's weight loss franchise will account for nearly half of the total sales of the top 10 drugs in 2032. But Lilly isn't resting on this envisioned success: the juggernaut is one of two companies circling Sangamo's assets as the biotech files for bankruptcy.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a rapidly evolving landscape marked by significant scientific breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and strategic business maneuvers. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are buzzing with renewed vigor, as evidenced by an impressive resurgence in mergers and acquisitions. A recent analysis by PwC reports that M&A activity has reached over $65 billion in deal value during the first quarter of 2026, marking the strongest quarter since 2020. This uptick underscores a robust confidence within the industry, with companies strategically leveraging these mergers to bolster their pipelines and explore new therapeutic territories. Eli Lilly's acquisition of non-opioid pain drugmaker 4E is a case in point, as it reflects a broader industry shift towards precision medicine and non-opioid pain management solutions—a response to growing concerns over opioid addiction. On the regulatory front, notable developments include Colorado's drug import plan receiving FDA approval. This marks a bold step in curbing drug costs across the U.S., although implementation challenges remain due to complex logistical and regulatory landscapes. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is expanding its global manufacturing footprint with a new plant in the Czech Republic for diabetes and obesity drugs, alongside a $29 million investment to upgrade its Chinese facility. This expansion aligns with Novo's strategic preparation to seek Chinese regulatory approval for its Wegovy pill, potentially transforming the obesity treatment landscape. In a move that could reshape vaccine development, Moderna is advancing its mRNA-based influenza vaccine candidate through regulatory channels. The FDA's favorable reviews ahead of an advisory committee meeting highlight the growing acceptance of mRNA technology beyond COVID-19 vaccines. This technology holds promise for transforming vaccine development across various infectious diseases. Precision oncology continues to grapple with translating scientific discoveries into practical applications that genuinely improve patient outcomes. The ASCO 2026 conference emphasized this critical transition from discovery to implementation as essential for advancing precision medicine. Turning to gene therapy, UniQure is preparing for a significant milestone—submitting an accelerated Biologics License Application for its Huntington's disease therapy. This follows a reversal by the FDA, which now considers UniQure's Phase 1/2 trial data sufficient for submission. Should this therapy gain approval, it would be groundbreaking as the first genetic medicine for Huntington's disease, setting a precedent for future gene therapies targeting other genetic disorders. In another strategic partnership, Jazz Pharmaceuticals has teamed up with AbCellera to develop T-cell-engaging antibodies for oncology indications, illustrating the potential financial rewards associated with innovative cancer therapies. This collaboration could yield up to $820 million per program and highlights how partnerships are crucial in expediting drug development timelines. These stories reflect broader industry trends emphasizing innovation and strategic partnerships while navigating complex regulatory landscapes. The focus on precision medicine and advanced biologics continues to drive scientific advancements, with companies like Vedana Therapeutics targeting unmet needs in neurology through novel therapeutic approaches. Meanwhile, international collaboration is gaining traction in regulatory processes. The newly launched transatlantic liaison program between the FDA and MHRA aims to accelerate drug approvals and foster innovation across borders—an initiative that underscores the importance of collaborative frameworks. However, not all news is optimistic. Be Biopharma's decision to terminate its hemophilia B cell therapy trial highlights the challenges companies face in competitive therapeutic areas. Despite previous optimism, similar withdrawals by Pfizer and BioMarin indicate the necessity for robust clinical data and clear market differentiation strategies. Furthermore, Merck's recent agreement with Protillion Technologies marks an increased focus on integrating artificial intelligence into drug discovery processes—a trend promising accelerated timelines and improved trial success rates. As these developments unfold, it's evident that the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are at an intersection where scientific innovation meets strategic business decisions. The potential approval of UniQure's gene therapy could catalyze further advancements in genetic medicine—while M&A activities suggest an industry poised for transformative growth. For stakeholders—from researchers to executives—the ability to adapt to these dynamic changes will be crucial in shaping the future of drug development and patient care. In conclusion, these stories collectively paint a picture of an industry evolving through scientific breakthroughs while adapting through strategic business decisions. As new technologies integrate into this space alongside regulatory advancements in gene therapy, this period of transformation holds promising implications for addressing unmet medical needs and enhancing therapeutic outcomes globally.Support the show

She talks about discovering Dopey after seeing Dave and Handsome Evan recording at the beach and eventually becoming a fixture in Dopey Zoom and the larger Dopey community.   The conversation quickly turns into a brutally honest critique of Dopey's YouTube channel, with Trinity explaining why the audio version works so well and why the video version needs help. Along the way they discuss eye contact, recovery awkwardness, Heart Attack Doug, Dopey Zoom, listener comments, the Knicks, softball, college, selling weed in Huntington, rolling blunts, and whether Tuesdays with Doug are significantly gayer than Tuesdays with Ray.   A reading from Just For Today about resistance to change sparks a genuine conversation about fear, complacency, recovery, and the challenges of building a new life in sobriety. Dave reflects on Trinity's growth and reminds her that despite her fears she's built 227 days sober by continuing to take action and ask for help. The episode closes with Trinity performing an emotional cover of Good So Bad, the song that first connected her to Dopey and inspired her recovery journey.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

May 31, 2026: They say the fires at Caledonia Mills started on their own, but anyone who spent a night there knew something far more sinister was at work.==========HOUR ONE: “The Witching Hour of 3AM” *** You don't have to go to a cemetery or haunted house to experience the supernatural. You don't need to drive a cursed road to encounter a ghost. Sometimes the paranormal takes place on military bases. (The Military And The Mysterious) *** The corpse of a murderer winds up doing advertising for a drug store. (The Murder of Maggie Walker) *** In 1922, an otherwise unremarkable farmhouse in Novia Scotia was the site of alleged poltergeist activity which made headlines all over Canada and the United States. A poltergeist that liked to set fires. (The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills)==========HOUR TWO: Claiming to audibly hear from God either makes you crazy, or a prophet – and only time can tell which is true. If you claim things are going to happen because God says they will – and then they don't happen – that means you're cray cray, and a false prophet. That also makes your followers a bunch of dupes. Sadly, the 19th and 20th centuries were full of crazy false prophets with mindless sheep worshipping them. (Creating False Prophets) *** Headline: “Exciting Wake!” When you see the words “exciting” and “wake” in the same headline, you can make a guess that someone is not resting in peace! (Exciting Wake)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A smitten fan falls in love with a talented actress, and convinces himself she loves him in return. This sounds very much like a story out of today's entertainment magazines – but this tale of unrequited love took place in the 1880's. (The Lunatic James Dougherty) *** The terrifying Aswang is the most feared creature of Philippine folklore—and with good reason. I'll tell you why. (The Deadly Aswang) ** Reports have been coming in from people claiming to see full-sized African lions not in the Savannah or in the wilderness – but in North America. But is there any truth to the their claims?

What does it cost to give your life away quietly?In this month's Velvet Ashes Legacy Podcast, Sarah sits down with author Jordan Monson to explore the remarkable story of Katharine “Katy” Barnwell—a woman whose influence on Bible translation shaped millions of lives, even though most people have never heard her name.Born in London during the Blitz, Katie's story begins in the shadow of war and unfolds into a lifetime of faithful, behind-the-scenes service. From learning unwritten languages in Nigeria to helping transform Bible translation into a model that empowered local believers, Katy carried a vision that changed the global church.But her story is also one of cost.The cost of singleness.The cost of obscurity.The cost of staying through hardship, civil war, exhaustion, and years far from home.The cost of offering your gifts fully to God without needing recognition in return.This conversation is a reminder that God has always used ordinary, imperfect people to do extraordinary things.Jordan Monson is an author and the Professor of Missions and Old Testament at Huntington University.

168. Peter Schmidt, From Math to Neuroscience

The 92 Report

Play Episode Listen Later May 25, 2026 47:25


Show Notes: Peter Schmidt talks about his senior year during the Iraq War, and how the news on the problem of jobless recovery led him to consider graduate school.  The Journey from Student to Dean Peter studied biomechanics at Cornell, focusing on the mathematics of biological systems and modeling clinical trials in orthopedics. He was admitted into  a fellowship program in New York at an orthopedic  hospital where he worked on total joint replacement.  His career path led him to neuroscience, where he led clinical research and worked for a nonprofit before becoming the vice dean of a medical school. He then moved on to running clinical trials and drug development.  A Focus on Parkinson's Disease Pete shares his interest in Parkinson's disease and explains that Parkinson's affects a tractable part of the brain, the basal ganglia, which is easier to model mathematically. He enjoys thinking about neuronal signaling and the microstructure of the brain, which helps in understanding the macro structure. Pete's PhD work involved modeling bone at the cellular level, and he applies similar thinking to the basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease. Research on Neurodegenerative Diseases Pete discusses the challenges in determining whether a question in neurodegenerative diseases is a question of science or engineering. He explains the historical focus on stem cells and extracellular proteins as solutions for diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Pete emphasizes the need to understand the role of extracellular proteins and the importance of scientific inquiry. He mentions the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of prion diseases and the subsequent focus on characteristic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases, which led to initiatives focused on proteins.  The Brain's Micro and Macro Structures Pete discusses the current focus on extracellular proteins and the challenges in proving their role in diseases like Parkinson's. He mentions the drug Lecanemab for Alzheimer's, which slows the disease but does not reverse it. Pete predicts that future research will focus on intracellular proteins and the need to restore lost cells in the brain. He highlights the importance of understanding the microstructure to inform the macro structure of the brain. The Logistics of Running Clinical Trials Pete explains that success in clinical trials is more about logistics than science, with 90-95% of the work being logistical. He discusses the challenges of recruiting subjects and the importance of working with academic medical centers that have a high volume of patients. Pete emphasizes the need for fast-moving ethics boards and efficient contracting to ensure the success of clinical trials. Incentives for Physicians When asked about the incentives for physicians to participate in clinical trials, Pete explains that most physicians are driven by scientific interest rather than financial incentives. He mentions the importance of academic leaders who can influence the participation of residents and fellows in trials. Pete highlights the passion of physicians in diseases like Huntington's and cystic fibrosis, which drives their engagement in research. The Role of Pharma Companies in Clinical Trials Pete talks about his role at East Carolina University where he oversaw clinical care and research at the medical school. He discusses the changing role of pharma companies in running clinical trials. He explains that many drugs are now discovered in labs, leading to a shift in the need for pharma companies to own their data. Pete mentions the issue of trial fraud, where fake patients are used to inflate data, and the importance of tighter control over trial data. He shares his experience of rescuing a trial from fraudulent data and the challenges of identifying such issues. Life on the Family Farm The conversation turns to Pete's family life, and Pete shares that his youngest child recently went to college, and he inherited a family farm that has been in his wife's family for 200 years. He enjoys working with his hands, doing woodworking, and using a skid steer for various tasks on the farm. Pete describes his role as the farm handyman, fixing things and maintaining the farm equipment. Harvard Reflections Pete mentions taking a quantum mechanics course and a material science class with X-ray interferometry. He highlights the impact of a physics class on fits and tolerances, which taught him about the importance of clearance and interference fits. Pete also shares his experience taking a folklore course with his roommate, which was his only pass/fail course at Harvard.  Pete explains the concept of fits and tolerances in engineering. He discusses the importance of understanding whether a fit needs to be tight or loose and planning accordingly. Pete uses examples from finance to illustrate the principle of having a cushion in budgeting. He emphasizes the need to know the target fit (tight or loose) to optimize engineering and design solutions.

Dr. Laura Bradfield is Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at The University of Sydney. In the lab, Laura studies the behavioral and brain mechanisms of compulsivity and compulsive disorders. Conditions like obsessive compulsive disorder, substance use disorder, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease all have elements of compulsivity. Rather than focusing on one particular condition, Laura and her team are working on developing better animal models of compulsivity and understanding how inflammation in certain parts of the brain affects compulsive behaviors. Outside of research, Laura loves to sing, and she enjoys going out for karaoke with colleagues in the evenings during conferences. She is also a fan of CrossFit workouts and spending time with her 14-year-old daughter. Laura received her bachelor's degree with honors in psychology and her PhD in neuroscience from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Sydney and subsequently the University of New South Wales. Prior to joining the faculty at The University of Sydney, Laura served as a Lecturer at University of New South Wales and a Research Fellow and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney.

On the B&B, Mike and Liana are inspired by the lighter side of Survivor, featuring a series of segments and games based on what's happening on Survivor that week.  This week, Mike and Liana are joined by legendary podcaster Justin McElroy for Episode 11! Get ready for a jam-packed Survivor 50 double boot breakdown as Mike Bloom and Liana Boraas welcome renowned podcaster and guest Justin McElroy to the RHAP B&B! With just two episodes left before the finale, the trio celebrates Mother’s Day and dives straight into one of the wildest nights yet where legends fall, idols stay hidden, and historic moves shake up the game. The conversation zeroes in on the latest double elimination, where Ozzy, the living legend, is sent home with an idol in his pocket while another Survivor icon, Cirie, pulls off an epic power play using the only advantage she's held all season. The hosts and Justin dissect how the constant twists, like the Mr. Beast coin flip and group splits, have cranked up the chaos and blurred traditional alliance lines. They share why this season's cast is maybe the most stacked in Survivor history and debate whether all the added advantages are crowding out pure gameplay. Key moments include: – Justin McElroy's take on why the Survivor 50 cast is legendary but might be over-twisted – The downfall of Ozzy: idol misplays, misguided trust, and repeated Survivor mistakes – Cirie's calm brilliance, pulling strings behind the scenes and making alliances feel safe – The break-up of big groups and the lack of clear alliances as the game barrels toward the final seven – Emily Flippin's exit with her reputation for spilling secrets, social bonds, and how Cirie's extra vote sealed her fate How will players adapt with legends like Ozzy gone and Cirie asserting control? With alliances uncertain and the finish line in sight, every vote and advantage could mean the difference between fire-making glory and heartbreak.

The conversation zeroes in on the latest double elimination, where Ozzy, the living legend, is sent home with an idol in his pocket while another Survivor icon, Cirie, pulls off an epic power play using the only advantage she's held all season. The hosts and Justin dissect how the constant twists, like the Mr. Beast coin flip and group splits, have cranked up the chaos and blurred traditional alliance lines. They share why this season's cast is maybe the most stacked in Survivor history and debate whether all the added advantages are crowding out pure gameplay. Key moments include: – Justin McElroy's take on why the Survivor 50 cast is legendary but might be over-twisted – The downfall of Ozzy: idol misplays, misguided trust, and repeated Survivor mistakes – Cirie's calm brilliance, pulling strings behind the scenes and making alliances feel safe – The break-up of big groups and the lack of clear alliances as the game barrels toward the final seven – Emily Flippin's exit with her reputation for spilling secrets, social bonds, and how Cirie's extra vote sealed her fate How will players adapt with legends like Ozzy gone and Cirie asserting control? With alliances uncertain and the finish line in sight, every vote and advantage could mean the difference between fire-making glory and heartbreak. Don't miss this candid, insightful, and funny Survivor 50 B&B as the crew questions who will survive the shifting sands of strategy and who's in prime position to win it all! 0:00 Epic Double Boot: Ozzy Blindsided 5:32 Breaking Down the Split Tribe Twist 10:16 Ozzy's Idol Mistake and Exit 20:17 Emily Flippin's Big Move Fails 23:38 Rick Devens' Showmanship Examined 26:10 Cirie's Ice-Cold Strategic Mastery 31:41 Preseason Predictions: Emily Flippin 36:07 Preseason Predictions: Ozzy's Game 41:26 Challenge Beasts and the “Beefy Boys” 50:36 Impact of Double Elimination Episodes 54:24 Before and After: Survivor 50 Game 1:07:25 Survivor 50 Winner Pick and Finale Wishes This week's charity shoutout is Harmony House, an organization seeking to end homelessness in the Huntington area through permanent housing and supportive service programs.
