Your active ingredient is the nucleic acid. So why does a proteolipid vehicle filing include viral clearance studies, stability data and full characterisation of a membrane protein that is not the drug? Because that protein sits on the particle surface, and a component nobody has filed before is the agency's problem regardless of what you call it.Proteolipid vehicles (PLVs), the platform Jitendra Kumar works on as Lead Scientist for Chemistry and Process Development at Entos Pharmaceuticals, represent a novel frontier in drug delivery, Instead of being taken up into an endosome and having to escape it, a PLV fuses with the cell membrane and releases cargo straight into the cytosol. That opens targets and patient groups that liver-tropic lipid nanoparticles and viral vectors have struggled to reach, and it leaves Kumar building a regulatory file with nothing on the shelf to copy.Highlights from the episode:Strategies for communicating novel technology with regulatory agencies and ensuring robust science-driven submissions (02:34)What differentiates the analytical characterization of PLVs compared to standard recombinant proteins or antibodies (04:03)The development plan and regulatory pathway towards clinical and commercial approval for their lead leptin therapy (05:35)The evolving role of advanced techniques—such as cryo-EM—in supporting regulatory filings and product understanding (06:56)Jitendra Kumar's career journey: from agricultural research in India to protein science and neurodegeneration, and how these experiences inform current PLV technology development (09:00)Challenges of early diagnostics and product development in neurodegenerative diseases (14:29)Decision-making differences and focus in academic versus industry biotech research (15:32)Practical advice on the importance of honest technology assessment, building networks, and understanding both strengths and weaknesses (16:16)Smart insight: A persistent challenge for groundbreaking delivery systems is the lack of established regulatory playbooks. Jitendra Kumar laid out a science-first approach: let data do the talking, supported by rigorous GLP toxicology studies and transparent communication with agencies. Regulatory bodies like Health Canada are receptive to innovation, provided that sponsors demonstrate safety, efficacy, and scientific rationale for any deviation from standard criteria.If this conversation got you thinking about how novel delivery vehicles reach the cell — and what it takes to carry one from bench through CMC, scale-up, and regulatory review — these four episodes go deeper:Episodes 125 - 126: How to Enhance Cell Engineering Using Mechanical Intracellular Delivery with Armon ShareiEpisodes 231 - 232: From IND to BLA: The Biologics CMC Decisions That Determine Regulatory Success with Henri KornmannEpisodes 89 - 90: Scale-Up Secrets: Cracking the Code of AAV Production with Ahmed YoussefEpisodes 71 - 72: Effective Outsourcing: How Small Biotech Companies Can Thrive with Mark MelvilleConnect with Jitendra Kumar:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jkumar2Email: jitendra.kumar@entospharma.comWebsite: www.entospharma.comFree 5-day email course, The CMC Failure Chain: the five recurring CMC mistakes that put your promising program at risk → Get it hereSupport the show

Gene therapy only works if the cargo reaches the right cells intact. Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) and lipid nanoparticles have carried the field this far, but both share a constraint: the particle is taken up into an endosome, and the payload has to escape that compartment before it is degraded. Endosomal escape is where a large share of the dose is lost, and it is why delivery, not the genetic construct, is usually the thing that limits the therapy. Lipid nanoparticles carry a second constraint, since they tend to accumulate in the liver, which narrows the diseases they can reach. What if the particle never entered that way at all?Jitendra Kumar, Lead Scientist for Chemistry and Process Development at Entos Pharmaceuticals, works on a platform that fuses directly with the cell membrane and releases its cargo straight into the cytosol. He came to nanoparticle design the long way, through fifteen years of structural biology on the prion protein in Frankfurt and Edmonton, which is why he thinks about particle size, packaging and diffusion the way he does.Key topics discussed:Jitendra's career background in structural biology and journey to Entos Pharmaceuticals (03:18)The scientific motivation and challenges of working with prion proteins and breaking down complex diseases (04:55)Genetic medicine approaches: gain-of-function vs. loss-of-function, and the role of siRNA, ASOs, and gene delivery (06:27)The FAST protein platform: origins, function, and advantages for drug delivery (07:56)Manufacturing differences compared to LNPs, including the introduction of recombinant membrane protein production and related CMC complexity (09:55)Scale-up and production challenges for membrane proteins, and strategies for clinical supply (11:21)Clinical development progress: Phase 1/2 studies with the platform, especially for COVID vaccine delivery (12:23)Focus areas for the technology, including selective lung delivery and leptin therapy for lipodystrophy (13:12)Lessons for small biotech companies in phase 1/2 manufacturing strategy, technology transfer, and the value of an experienced network (14:31)Balancing process robustness with speed in new biotech ventures (16:02)The importance of identifying “pause steps” and must-have vs. nice-to-have features in early manufacturing processes (17:15)Smart insight: Jitendra's takeaway for startups: for early phases, find a partner who genuinely understands your tech and can move at your pace rather than defaulting to a big CDMO, treat your network as infrastructure, and build the ability to run production in-house. The one thing that's never up for negotiation is process robustness. The real question isn't robustness vs. speed, but how many checkpoints and safe pause points you build in so you can have both.If this conversation got you thinking about how novel delivery vehicles reach the cell — and what it takes to carry one from bench through CMC, scale-up, and regulatory review — these four episodes go deeper:Episodes 125 - 126: How to Enhance Cell Engineering Using Mechanical Intracellular Delivery with Armon ShareiEpisodes 231 - 232: From IND to BLA: The Biologics CMC Decisions That Determine Regulatory Success with Henri KornmannEpisodes 89 - 90: Scale-Up Secrets: Cracking the Code of AAV Production with Ahmed YoussefEpisodes 71 - 72: Effective Outsourcing: How Small Biotech Companies Can Thrive with Mark MelvilleConnect with Jitendra Kumar:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jkumar2Email: jitendra.kumar@entospharma.comWebsite: www.entospharma.comFree 5-day email course, The CMC Failure Chain: the five recurring CMC mistakes that put your promising program at risk → Get it hereSupport the show

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Dr. Pierre-Hugues (PH) Stefanuto who is an Associate Professor and Lead Scientist in the Molecular System Research Unit at University of Liège in Liège, Belgium. He previously received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the same institution. Following his graduate work in Liege he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Dartmouth College. He is a recognized world expert in multidimensional gas chromatography, where he focuses on profiling volatile organic compound mixtures in various life science samples. Currently, he is focused on developing multi-omics screening approaches to tackle biomedical challenges at the molecular level. He has received a number of accolades to date, including the John Phillips Award and Richard Sacks Award, which are two of the highest honors in the field of multidimensional gas chromatography. He is also one of the co-chairs of the ongoing Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop symposium series. In the conversation we talk about PH's early experiences as a kid scientist, both experimenting in the kitchen at home, and as a laureate of the Chemistry Olympiad in Belgium. We then move on to discuss the Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop - the early days, the alignment with PH's professional interests, the 17th annual workshop in Williamsburg, VA, and the upcoming 18th workshop in Liège in early 2027. We also talk about the “Century Mix” Project, which was discussed at the Williamsburg with guidance from PH and Dr. John Dimandjia, and has aims to democratize the characterization of GCxGC systems, and provide open datasets for anyone in the community to use. Later in the conversation we briefly discuss two of PH's recent papers in the GCxGC field, both focused on aspects of data analysis. Finally, we finish with some quick hits, where PH has great advice for young scientists.

Adam Cox is joined by Vestergaard's Lead Scientist, Rinki Debb & Regional Manager of Public Health, Emmie Cacace to discuss malaria. Many of us may think that malaria is less of a threat than it used to be and is under control. In fact, nearly 7 in 10 Brits say they hear less about the efforts to combat the disease than they once might have. However, the fight is far from over – with one child dying every single minute. https://vestergaard.com/ 

In 2017, The Game Changers documentary caught the attention of millions, sparking a new conversation about plant-based nutrition and athletic performance. Behind its scientific integrity was David Goldman, the film's chief science advisor, who ensured its message was grounded in robust, evidence-based findings.    David is a certified specialist in sports nutrition and strength conditioning, with a master's degree in applied physiology and nutrition from Columbia University. He has worked with college, professional, and Olympic athletes, helping them excel through plant-powered strategies. Join us as we explore his latest research, insights, and actionable strategies for optimizing your health and unlocking your potential!   “When weight is lost, a whole bunch of things come down, generally, like inflammation, inflammatory markers, for example, like C-reactive protein or your cholesterol will drop. But then when you have people do it with a diet like a carnivore diet that's real, or a keto diet that's really high in saturated fat, you have this competition between weight loss, lowering cholesterol, paired with saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, increasing cholesterol, and so that's where there's this sort of mixed findings on what the effects of these diets are on some of these blood markers. Now, if you were to lose weight on a plant-based diet, it just drops like a rock. You know, you can just drop cholesterol LDL, especially blood pressure, and you can just drop these like crazy.

The last several years have seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits focused on the climate crisis. Some lawsuits challenge governments for their support for fossil fuels and for their failure to take climate action, while other cases target the fossil fuel companies themselves for knowingly misleading the world about the climate disrupting impacts of burning their products. Some of these cases seek monetary damages, others seek to hold governments accountable to their emissions reduction pledges. As more of these cases get their time in court, how powerful can litigation be in forcing action around the climate emergency? Guests: Delta Merner, Lead Scientist, Science Hub for Climate Litigation, Union of Concerned Scientists Korey Silverman-Roati, Senior Fellow, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law School Lucy Maxwell, Co-Director, Climate Litigation Network, Urgenda Foundation For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Clarage, PhD, Astrophysicist and Lead Scientist of SAFIRE, explains how we could not have organic life without cells, chemicals, light, electricity, or the ecosystems of the Earth and Sun—all levels of the hierarchy communicate and exchange energy. Mr. Clarage studies the moon, sun, stars and Planets and says they are all connected, all interconnected with humans as well. While not giving a definite yes, he thinks it is quite possible the moon is not solid when Patrick asked him the question regarding the nature of the moon. He is adamant About NASA's contention that the moon is lit up by the sun is preposterous and the moon has it's own light. He says science in all fields learn dogmatic ideas and they just can't let go of these theories taught in Universities and grad schools He agreed with Patrick when he suggested the mind is other than physical and was curious why science doesn't want to consider anything they can't see. Clarage shows on a white board how all celestial bodies have a toroidal field that spreads out magnetically throughout the universe as does the human body We are, human, electrical beings. Our cells communicate with the entire body through electrical impulses and light Clarage explains on a white board exactly why all EMF exposure is harmful and how it actually damages the tissues in the body. No doubt that the energy from the moon affects all life, everywhere
