The Trump administration's widespread cuts to federal funding for scientific and clinical research has adversely impacted hundreds of universities across the country.In the absence of reliable support from the federal government, where can clinical research teams look?Could the answer be private equity?Professor Gökhan S Hotamisligil, the James Stevens Simmons Professor of Genetics and Metabolism at Harvard T.H. Chan School, speaks with managing editor Jack O'Brien about the unique collaboration between Harvard and İş Private Equity, a Turkish financial organization which has pledged $39 million to fund the work of the professor and his clinical research team for a decade.As he notes, this doesn't make up for the lack of federal funding – nothing quite can – but it offers a much-needed lifeline during a turbulent time.For our Trends segment, we're previewing the Q2 earnings season for pharma companies – including what trends may impact their financial releases in the coming weeks.

Listen in or watch as host David Mandell sits down with medical marketing consultant Kristy LaGourgue and aesthetic nurse Rachel Varga to discuss branding and marketing lessons that all doctors can benefit from, whether they own their own practice or not. David begins the discussion by asking Kristy and Rachel the most common mistakes medical practices make with marketing and how to avoid them. They then chat about the importance of marketing when offering new services or equipment or even bringing on new doctors. The discussion then turns to branding – how an individual doctor can brand him/herself in the marketplace- which not only can be patient-focused, but also to other doctors, who are key referral sources –and even industry for further business opportunities. Finally, Kristy and Rachel speak to the use of social media and how doctors should approach getting started in marketing efforts. KEY TAKEAWAYS Takeaway #1: Having a Clear Marketing Strategy is More Effective Than Piecemeal Efforts. Piecing together different marketing tactics without a clear strategy can lead to poor results. Kristy points out that one common mistake practitioners make is trying “a little bit of this, a little bit of that, hoping something's going to stick.” Instead, she suggests that it's crucial to understand how different marketing activities work together to drive steady patient flow. Rachel supports this point, noting that practitioners often give up too soon or get in their own way due to imposter syndrome or feeling out of their comfort zone. She encourages practitioners to stick with their marketing efforts and to recognize the long-term benefits. “It's really getting also that validation and accolade from your colleagues in the space too, to then position you even further, which might open up the gates for different opportunities on boards and business development deals as well”. In essence, being strategic and consistent about marketing activities, rather than trying different tactics in a piecemeal manner, can lead to better results and open up new opportunities for practitioners. Takeaway #2: Diversifying Practice Offerings Can Lead to New Opportunities. With the rapidly evolving field of medical technology and treatments, diversifying practice offerings can open up new opportunities for physicians. For instance, adding new technologies or treatments to a practice can attract different types of patients, or even create new revenue streams. Rachel explains how one of her colleagues transformed his practice by incorporating group coaching and video training, thus creating a seven-figure business.

This diversification, coupled with a strong online presence and marketing strategy, can significantly enhance a practice's success and growth.
