Welcome to our final episode for 2025. We're taking a little break for the holidays but we'll be back again on Friday 9th of January to kick off our year with the Managing Director of Merck KGaA's M Ventures, Hakan Goker.Today, though, I'm joined by Ester in t'Groen of Johnson & Johnson.Fresh off the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in Orlando, where J&J presented over 60 abstracts, Ester shares insights into the company's portfolio and the advances that the company has made over recent years in the hematology space.She walks us through the real-world evidence for some pretty significant results from the thousands of patients in their clinical trials, and explain what's next for J&J in hematology in 2026—including some exciting readouts.01:14 - Meet Ester in t'Groen 02:37 - Winning the Kilmer Medal06:32 - J&J's key focus areas07:32 - The hematology portfolio19:07 - All about ASH 202523:49 - The MajesTEC-3 data27:43 - The value of real-world datasets32:06 - Looking forward into 2026Interested in being a sponsor of an episode of our podcast?

In this episode we sit down with Martin Beck, Senior Vice President and Head of the Inflammation Business Unit at Boehringer Ingelheim. Martin grew up just down the road from the company's headquarters in Germany, joined as a scholarship student more than 20 years ago, and never really left – and you'll hear why he still loves it.We spend most of the episode focused on a disease that doesn't get nearly enough attention: idiopathic and progressive pulmonary fibrosis. These are rare, fatal lung-scarring conditions that kill faster than many cancers, yet patients often shrug off the first symptoms as “just aging.” Martin walks us through why half the people on today's treatments stop taking them, how BI just brought the first new medicine in over a decade to the U.S. market, and why an AI tool that spots microscopic changes on lung scans might finally help doctors diagnose and treat these patients' years earlier. 01:24 Meet Martin Beck04:21 About Boehringer Ingelheim07:12 Understanding idiopathic & progressive pulmonary fibrosis10:16 Current treatments & high discontinuation rates12:25 BI's long-term investment in PF16:02 eLung AI tool for earlier diagnosis22:16 A new oral PDE4B inhibitor28:13 Key data highlights from the recent ERS congress30:31 FDA approval & global rollout plansInterested in being a sponsor of an episode of our podcast?

Two weeks ago, the biopharma industry gathered in Vienna, Austria, for BIO-Europe. Tens of thousands of one-on-one meetings were organized between innovators and out-licensors with top pharma companies and venture capitalists eager to partner and invest. For the large pharma firms, it's a chance to learn about new science and keep tabs on evolving assets. For smaller biotechs, though, it can be three-days of high-pressure networking where a lot is riding on making the right pitch to the right company at just the right time. Get it right, and you walk away with a clear path forward and the cash to fund it. But get unlucky and you might find yourself with few options in the New Year.This year, we decided to follow one biotech heading into their first BIO-Europe partnering conference. We met with DISCO Pharma three times over the last month to follow their BIO-Europe journey:Before the event to learn about the science behind DISCO and understand what their goals were heading into BIO-Europe. At the event itself to talk about how the partnering meetings had been going and how the event had shaped up for DISCO. A week after BIO-Europe had closed, diving into the follow-up activities and learning about the next steps for this German biotech.I hope you enjoy my conversations with Ajla Hrle, Chief Business Officer at DISCO, and this behind the scenes look at BIO-Europe from an innovator's perspective.02:25 Preparing for BIO-Europe16:51 On the floor at BIO-Europe22:23 Following up from BIO-EuropeInterested in being a sponsor of an episode of our podcast?

Last week saw more than 5,900 people from 3,200 companies gather in Vienna, Austria, for the continent's largest biopharma partnering conference, BIO-Europe. Over three days the world's top pharma companies, most innovative biotechs, and life science professionals from 60 countries took more than 32,000 one-on-one meetings, made the connections, and sealed deals that will drive the industry forward into 2026 and beyond.Among the highlights of BIO-Europe this year was the Startup Spotlight contest. This exciting competition offers biotech entrepreneurs an affordable opportunity to engage with top-tier investors and other important players in the biotech industry and to take their business to the next level. Eight finalists made their pitches at BIO Europe and one, Fusix Biotech from Germany, came out on top.This week on Beyond Biotech I'm joined by Fusix Biotech's Managing Director and co-founder, Jennifer Altomonte, who tells me about her journey through the industry, Fusix's InFUSE platform, and what it's like to pitch – and win – one of the most important biopharma startup competitions of the year.01:34 Meet Jennifer Altomonte05:12 Co-founding Fusix Biotech10:37 Fusix Biotech and the InFUSE platform18:50 Intellectual property for a young company20:04 The BIO-Europe Startup Spotlight23:47 The impact of the competition win29:05 The milestones ahead30:33 What does a successful 2026 look like for Fusix Biotech?31:56 Learn more about Fusix BiotechThis episode is supported by EBD Group.Interested in being a sponsor of an episode of our podcast?

Blaine begins the episode with a podcast overview and the generalities of this week's episode (0:02). Once Donovan joins, they discuss the return of the longest-running TV show, 'It's Always Sunny In Philadephia' and determine how its sustained its longevity (3:15). From there, they have brief discussion on the Apple TV+ series 'Stick' and its most recent episode (11:14). To conclude the non-spoiler segment, they give thought to 'The Bear' as a whole season (14:42). After a short break, it's time to discuss the ridiculous plot points of both 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' and 'Abbott Elementary,' as the gang end their time there (14:57). Both hosts agree that the Apple TV+ 'Stick' had its best episode thus far, and they explain why (32:38). Finally, it's the last four episodes of the fourth season of 'The Bear' (35:38) Was it better than season three? Were problems solved? All that, and more on this week's Taking It Down episode.
