The traditional path to patients is being rewritten. As affordability pressures rise and patient expectations shift, life sciences companies are rethinking the middle — moving beyond payers, providers, and pharmacies to create direct, digital pathways that meet patients where they are.In this episode, host Adrea Cope is joined by Colleen Ferlotti and Rupa Mehta to unpack the rapid rise of Direct-to-Patient (DTP) models: what's fueling the shift, how leaders are navigating regulatory and operational complexity, and why success depends on designing with both discipline and empathy.To learn more about how we can help your team navigate these changing landscapes, please reach out to Mike.Zapiec@vynamic.com Podcast Tags: healthcare, life sciences, life sciences marketing, direct to patient, patient centricity, digital health Source Links: Triangle Insights Group (August 2025).

"It costs about $2.5 billion to bring a drug to the market, and only about 30% of those actually succeed or meet their commercial goals when they get to the market."Manufacturing leaders typically focus on the technical challenges directly in front of them—process validation, tech transfer timelines, capacity utilization. But understanding the commercial landscape offers critical intelligence for strategic planning: which therapeutic areas will drive demand, what modalities require capacity investment, and how market access pressures reshape make-versus-buy decisions.Ryan Quigley, CEO of Inizio—a $1.6 billion commercialization services company working with over 700 pharma and biotech clients—offers a window into the commercial trends that ultimately determine manufacturing requirements. His perspective spans both sponsor and service provider roles, including experience at Abbott, AbbVie, and UDG Healthcare.In this PharmaSource podcast episode, Ryan shares his perspective on pipeline composition, which therapeutic areas will drive the most growth, how regulatory and pricing pressures are reshaping strategic decisions, and why flexibility has become the industry's most valuable currency.Read more
Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a new strategic collaboration with the Gorlin Syndrome Alliance (GSA) to advance compassionate access to SKINJECT™, the company's investigational doxorubicin-containing dissolvable microneedle array therapy for basal cell carcinoma. The initiative focuses on patients with Gorlin Syndrome—also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome—a rare genetic condition that affects an estimated 1 in 31,000 people worldwide. Individuals diagnosed with the disorder can develop hundreds or even thousands of BCCs throughout their lives, often beginning in childhood. Current treatment approaches frequently involve repeated surgeries and ongoing dermatologic interventions, resulting in significant physical scarring, emotional strain, and financial burden. Dr. Bokhari explained that the partnership with the GSA is designed to jointly pursue an Expanded Access IND Program with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This pathway would enable eligible Gorlin Syndrome patients with multiple, recurrent, or inoperable basal cell carcinomas to obtain supervised treatment with SKINJECT™ outside of traditional clinical trials. In addition to facilitating treatment for those with pressing unmet medical needs, the program will support the collection of real-world safety and tolerability data, which will contribute to future regulatory submissions. It will also enable greater incorporation of patient-centered insights into clinical development and long-term treatment strategies. Medicus Pharma is currently underway with its Phase 2 clinical study, SKNJCT-003, which began enrolling patients in August 2024 across nine U.S. trial sites. The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, triple-arm proof-of-concept trial evaluating SKINJECT™ as a non-invasive therapeutic option for skin-based BCC using proprietary dissolvable D-MNA . Dr. Bokhari emphasized that the collaboration with the GSA reflects Medicus Pharma's mission to bring innovative, patient-friendly cancer treatments to those most in need, while advancing SKINJECT™ toward broader clinical and commercial milestones. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #CompassionateUse #FDAApproval #RareDiseaseTreatment #NoninvasiveTherapy #BiotechNews

Do you ever feel like you're doing “all the right things” but not seeing real results?In this episode, Greg & Rachel Denning challenge the sacred cows of school, pharma, and religion—not to burn it all down, but to help you keep what serves your family and release what doesn't. You'll learn how to shift from transactional box-checking to transformational growth, so your kids develop inner authority, critical thinking, and personal responsibility.Big idea: You can honor helpful traditions and raise kids who can question wisely, choose higher standards, and own their outcomes—in education, health, spirituality, and life.What we cover:• Why outsourcing your child's education, spirituality, or health stalls growth• How to “keep the good” in institutions while ditching deadweight rules• The path from conformity to character—raising autodidacts who learn for life• Practical habits that create palpable progress in mind, body, spirit, and family cultureKey Takeaways✅ Transactional → Transformational: Results > routines.✅ Inner Authority: Teach kids to think, not just comply.✅ Keep & Elevate: Honor useful rules; raise the standard at home.✅ Autodidact Mindset: Light the fire, don't fill the bucket.✅ Measure Progress: If outcomes don't improve, change the method.Chapters00:00 Challenging Sacred Cows02:32 The Importance of Questioning Traditions04:58 Individual Authority and Personal Growth07:22 Outsourcing Education and Spirituality10:29 Transformational vs. Transactional Experiences13:05 The Role of Institutions in Personal Development15:25 The Quest for Holistic Progress18:27 Facing Fears and Embracing Truth21:28 The Labyrinth of Personal Growth28:40 Facing Fears and Doubts29:32 The Nature of True Education30:51 The Challenge of Conformity32:22 Resisting Authority Thoughtfully33:41 The Importance of Imagination35:03 Faith at the Edge of the Abyss36:18 Questioning Conventional Wisdom38:01 Learning from Others' Experiences40:41 Walking the Labyrinth of Faith41:48 Understanding Meta Truths44:10 The Concept of the Fringe46:44 Navigating the Lower and Upper Fringe49:03 Living Beyond Conformity50:31 Transformational Living Beyond the BasicsMemorable Quotes
When Procter & Gamble asked Atsushi Kitamura to move from finance analysis into running a manufacturing plant, he didn't hesitate. “They always give me next challenge to stretch me,” he tells us. Managing one of P&G's large diaper plants in Japan forced him to apply finance in real-time operations—a proving ground that shaped his comfort with change and appetite for transformation.That readiness carried him from consumer goods to logistics, restaurants, and electronics before arriving at Astellas Pharma, where the stakes are now measured in science and strategy. When he joined in 2023, Astellas had just completed a $6 billion acquisition that shifted it from a net-cash to a net-debt position. Hired to “put financial disciplines and make the balance sheet stronger,” Kitamura tells us he views the moment as a “transformative timing” for the company. Loss of exclusivity on a prostate-cancer drug representing “more than 40 percent of our revenues” demands reinvention.His three-part playbook focuses on growing core brands, investing in science creation, and executing what he calls “sustainable margin transformations.” The approach has begun to pay off—“top line 19 percent, profit 40 percent,” he tells us—signaling a finance organization in renewal.Now he's turning to technology to sustain that momentum. Describing the shift from RPA to “agentic AI,” Kitamura explains, “I just ask agent AI to do that booking.” He calls it a tipping point that will “change significantly the way how we work.”Still, he adds, leadership begins with listening. “Don't pretend I know everything,” he tells us. For Kitamura, finance transformation starts not with machines or metrics—but with humility.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONRebecca V. Nellis never meant to run a nonprofit. She just never left. Twenty years later, she's still helming Cancer and Careers after a Craigslist maternity-leave temp job turned into a lifelong mission.In this 60-minute doubleheader, we cover everything from theater nerdom and improv rules for surviving bureaucracy, to hanging up on Jon Bon Jovi, to navigating cancer while working—or working while surviving cancer. Same thing.Rebecca's path is part Second City, part Prague hostel, part Upper East Side grant writer, and somehow all of that makes perfect sense. She breaks down how theater kids become nonprofit lifers, how “sample sale feminism” helped shape a cancer rights org, and how you know when the work is finally worth staying for.Also: Cleavon Little. Tap Dance Kid. 42 countries. And one extremely awkward moment involving a room full of women's handbags and one very confused Matthew.If you've ever had to hide your diagnosis to keep a job—or wanted to burn the whole HR system down—this one's for you.RELATED LINKSCancer and CareersRebecca Nellis on LinkedIn2024 Cancer and Careers Research ReportWorking with Cancer Pledge (Publicis)CEW FoundationI'm Not Rappaport – Broadway InfoFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Dr. Adam Rogers, CEO of NervGen Pharma, highlights the significant unmet medical need for treating spinal cord injuries (SCI), as there are currently no approved pharmacological treatments to promote repair. The science behind this neurotrauma company's drug is designed to interfere with the inhibitory molecules that prevent neurons from regenerating after injury, allowing the nervous system to repair itself. Recent trials have shown success in patients with chronic SCI, indicating that it is possible to promote recovery long after initial damage occurs.. Adam explains, "Our mission at NervGen is to improve the lives of individuals with spinal cord injury. And there are roughly 310,000 individuals with spinal cord injury in the United States, and about 18,000, roughly 18,500 new cases per year. And it's such a difficult injury to treat because, other than largely exercise and physical therapy, there are absolutely no approved pharmacologic treatments that promote functional repair for individuals who have suffered a spinal cord injury." "I'm a physician by training. I practiced for nearly 20 years, and in the medical world, we have always been taught that when a neuron is damaged, as occurs in spinal cord injury, the neuron becomes dystrophic and cannot regenerate. So the medical community has always believed, and I was taught this and even in my practice, that once you have a damaged neuron, that neuron is dead. The problem that we have to solve here is really twofold. Number one, are neurons still viable after a central nervous system (CNS) injury? And number two, if the neuron is viable, how can we get that neuron to sprout, remyelinate, and regrow so that we can gain some function in the end organ that that neuron is supposed to innervate? NervGen's scientific founder, the late Dr. Jerry Silver, dedicated his entire career to understanding what prevented the central nervous system from repairing itself." #NervGenPharma #SpinalCordInjury #RegenerativeMedicine #NeuroTrauma nervgen.com Download the transcript here

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving deep into a series of significant events that are shaping the future of drug development and patient care.Starting with Merck KGaA, their decision to close the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient plant in Arklow, Ireland by 2028 marks a pivotal shift in their manufacturing strategy. This move follows a strategic review and is emblematic of broader industry trends where companies reassess their operational strategies for greater efficiency. While this decision may impact the local workforce and supply chain dynamics, it underscores a wider reevaluation within the industry regarding sourcing strategies and optimizing production capabilities.Turning to regulatory news, Amgen and AstraZeneca have achieved a notable milestone with Tezspire, which has received approval for a second indication in both the U.S. and Europe. This success highlights the strategic importance of expanding drug indications to maximize therapeutic potential and market reach. The approval also reflects a trend where robust clinical data supports regulatory endorsements across various regions, enhancing the global footprint of pharmaceutical innovations.In manufacturing developments, Galderma is making headlines with a $650 million investment in U.S.-based production facilities for Nemluvio. This commitment to domestic manufacturing aligns with industry-wide movements towards reshoring production to bolster supply chain resilience. As demand for dermatological products increases, enhancing local infrastructure promises not only to meet market needs but also to secure supply stability in uncertain times.Meanwhile, Moderna's recent decision to discontinue its congenital cytomegalovirus vaccine program after disappointing Phase 3 results illustrates the inherent uncertainties present in vaccine development. Despite extensive efforts, the vaccine did not demonstrate sufficient efficacy in preventing CMV infections among women. This outcome serves as a reminder of the critical role that robust clinical trial data plays in guiding strategic decisions within pharmaceutical pipelines. While mRNA technology has seen success against COVID-19, this setback highlights complexities involved when tackling other viral pathogens, potentially redirecting Moderna's focus towards more promising candidates.Roche is navigating through challenges such as currency fluctuations and slower-than-expected pharmaceutical sales in its third quarter. Despite these headwinds, Roche projects confidence in its long-term growth strategies, showcasing resilience through its diversified portfolio. Furthermore, Roche's decision to discontinue five Chugai solid tumor assets reflects broader industry movements towards reassessment and realignment within pipelines. Such decisions often emerge from early-phase trials failing to meet expected outcomes or shifts towards areas with greater promise, enabling companies like Roche to streamline resources towards more viable therapeutic areas.Compliance remains under scrutiny at Nephron Pharmaceuticals as ongoing FDA issues emphasize the necessity of maintaining stringent quality standards throughout manufacturing processes. Such regulatory challenges highlight the criticality of ensuring product safety and efficacy within the industry.On the technological front, the integration of artificial intelligence into life sciences commercialization is transforming industry landscapes. Though many organizations are still catching up with this digital shift, those that have embraced AI are experiencing significant improvements in efficiency and patient engagement. As companies continue embedding AI into their strategic frameworks, these initiatives promise to redefine operational paradigms and open new paths for growth.The landscape remains dynaSupport the show
As Gen Z steps into the healthcare workforce, they're bringing new expectations for authenticity, technology, and purpose-driven brands. The old pharma playbook? Invisible to this generation.In this episode of Trending Health, host Adrea Cope sits down with Carolyn Frantz and Mindy McGrath to explore how life sciences marketers can evolve to engage the next generation of HCPs and patients — from short-form content and streaming-first strategies to redefining the pharma rep of the future.To learn more about how we can help your team navigate these changing landscapes, please reach out to Carolyn.Frantz@vynamic.com or Mike.Zapiec@vynamic.comPodcast Tags: healthcare, life sciences, life sciences marketing, Gen Z, digital health, brand authenticitySource Links:Gen Z more likely to report mental health concernsGeneration X Faces Higher Cancer Rates Than Boomers: StudyPanel – Adrea Cope, Carolyn Frantz, Mindy McGrathResearch & Production – Adrea Cope, Carolyn Frantz, Hannah Yee, Mike ZapiecRecording & Editing – Mike Liberto, Rachel SkoneckiFor additional discussion, please contact us at TrendingHealth.com.
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 pivotal changes and innovations shaping the industry landscape.Let's begin with a significant acquisition that is resonating across the sector. Alkermes has strategically acquired Avadel Pharmaceuticals for a noteworthy $2.1 billion. This acquisition is primarily aimed at Avadel's long-acting narcolepsy drug, Lumryz. This move not only acts as a growth catalyst for Alkermes but also strategically positions the company to potentially advance its own narcolepsy candidate, Alixorexton. This acquisition highlights a broader trend within the industry: a shift towards consolidation and specialization in niche therapeutic areas, reflecting the ongoing strategic maneuvering within the pharmaceutical sector to enhance therapeutic portfolios.In regulatory developments, there is an ongoing discussion around FDA cancer drug policies that's gaining attention. Eli Lilly's Oncology President has highlighted the need for clearer regulatory pathways. The debate revolves around whether to prioritize survival metrics without crossover incentives or encourage U.S. participation through crossover designs. This underscores a tension between maintaining regulatory rigor and offering flexibility in clinical trial design—a balance that impacts how quickly new oncology therapies can reach patients.Turning to international trade, there are significant movements as the Trump administration initiates a probe under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The aim is to assess if foreign nations are contributing their fair share to drug costs. Such an investigation could lead to tariffs, potentially altering global pharmaceutical trade dynamics and influencing international pricing strategies. Reports suggest that former President Donald Trump is exploring strategies to impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners not adequately compensating for pharmaceuticals, reflecting ongoing tensions regarding international drug pricing.Technology is revolutionizing life sciences commercialization strategies, with AI playing a pivotal role. Despite many organizations not being fully prepared for this digital shift, companies like Real Chemistry are pioneering AI applications to navigate regulatory complexities such as FDA marketing compliance. This digital transformation is set to redefine how pharmaceutical companies engage with patients and healthcare providers, enhancing efficiency and compliance.In legal news, Regeneron has settled a patent dispute with Celltrion over Eylea, allowing for the launch of a biosimilar by the end of 2026. This settlement is part of the growing biosimilars market, which offers cost-effective alternatives to high-priced biologics and enhances patient access to essential therapies.The industry's focus on oncology is further exemplified by Takeda's $1.2 billion upfront payment to Innovent Biologics for cancer assets. This deal includes substantial milestone payments, marking oncology as a key growth area post-Entyvio era and highlighting the high stakes associated with breakthrough cancer therapies. Continuing with significant industry maneuvers, Takeda Pharmaceuticals has announced a potential investment up to $11.4 billion to acquire three antibody-drug conjugates from Innovent Biologics. This deal includes an upfront payment of $1.2 billion and up to $10.2 billion in milestone payments—highlighting Takeda's commitment to expanding its oncology portfolio with innovative therapies that promise enhanced treatment outcomes for cancer patients.Ipsen's acquisition of ImCheck Therapeutics for $1.6 billion further emphasizes this focus on novel cancer treatments. The move includes ImCheck's mid-stage leukemia monoclonal antibody ICT01—an asset aimed at acute myeloid leukemia—indicating Ipsen's strategic push intSupport the show

Sally Wolf is back in the studio and this time we left cancer at the door. She turned 50, brought a 1993 Newsday valedictorian article as a prop, and sat down with me for a half hour of pure Gen X therapy. We dug into VHS tracking, Red Dawn paranoia, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler, and how growing up with no helmets and playgrounds built over concrete somehow didn't kill us.We laughed about being Jewish kids in the suburbs, the crushes we had on thirty-year-olds playing teenagers, and what it means to hit 50 with your humor intact.

This Day in Legal History: Abrams v. United States ArguedOn October 21, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Abrams v. United States, a seminal case in the development of First Amendment jurisprudence. The case arose during the post–World War I Red Scare, when the government aggressively prosecuted speech perceived as dangerous or subversive. The defendants were Russian immigrants who distributed leaflets in New York City denouncing U.S. military intervention in the Russian Revolution and calling for a general strike. They were charged and convicted under the Sedition Act of 1918 for allegedly inciting resistance to the war effort.The Supreme Court upheld their convictions in a 7–2 decision, finding that the speech posed a “clear and present danger” to national security. However, it was Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' dissent, joined by Justice Louis Brandeis, that left the most lasting impression. Holmes argued that only speech intended to produce imminent lawless action should be punished, introducing the enduring metaphor of the “marketplace of ideas” as essential to democratic deliberation.Legally, the case illustrates the government's ability to impose post-speech punishment—penalties after speech has occurred—as opposed to prior restraint, which involves preventing speech before it happens. The distinction is vital in American law: prior restraints are almost always unconstitutional, while post-speech sanctions may be permitted under narrow circumstances. In Abrams, the Court leaned toward deference to governmental wartime authority, but Holmes' dissent marked the beginning of a shift toward greater speech protections.The decision laid the groundwork for the more speech-protective standards adopted in later cases such as Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969). The post-speech punishment principle debated in Abrams remains a cornerstone of First Amendment law, highlighting the tension between state interests and individual liberties in times of political conflict.When two alleged drug traffickers survived a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean, the Trump administration immediately repatriated them rather than detain them — a decision that reveals a troubling logic behind the president's new “war” on narco‑terrorism. The administration has declared the campaign a “non‑international armed conflict,” but legal experts note that this classification offers no real authority for military detention. In other words, the United States can kill suspects under this self‑declared war framework, but it has no clear legal footing to hold survivors.Experts said the administration likely chose the least damaging option: send the survivors home and avoid a courtroom. Detaining them at Guantanamo or on U.S. soil would have triggered habeas corpus challenges, forced disclosure of evidence, and risked exposing the strikes as legally indefensible. One former State Department lawyer said any trial would have “undermined the narrative” that the attacks were lawful military operations. By refusing to hold prisoners, the administration sidesteps both judicial scrutiny and transparency.The result is a perverse incentive structure. If survivors are released but detainees are liabilities, the easiest path for officials is to ensure there are no survivors at all. The legal asymmetry—where killing is simpler than capture—encourages tactics that maximize lethality while minimizing accountability. As a result, Trump's “drug war” risks becoming less about law enforcement and more about ensuring that no one lives long enough to challenge the legality of U.S. actions.In Trump's drug war, prisoners may be too much of a legal headache, experts say | ReutersGlobal pharmaceutical companies are rapidly ramping up U.S. manufacturing in response to a looming Trump administration policy that would impose 100% tariffs on imported branded and patented drugs. While enforcement is delayed for companies that commit to domestic investment, the threat has already triggered a wave of fast-tracked spending, direct-to-consumer sales shifts, and pricing concessions in exchange for temporary tariff exemptions.Major players like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, and Roche have pledged tens of billions of dollars to build or expand plants across the U.S. to shield themselves from future penalties. Some, like Pfizer and AstraZeneca, secured multi-year tariff exemptions by agreeing to pricing deals and participation in the administration's new TrumpRx.gov program. Others, like Novartis and Sanofi, are spreading investments across multiple states and sites, creating thousands of jobs as part of their strategic insulation.The tariff threat is driving a major reshaping of global supply chains and investment strategies, as companies aim to avoid the legal and financial burden of import duties by domesticating both manufacturing and distribution. While some firms say they are already well-positioned with sufficient U.S. inventory, the broader trend reflects a defensive industry-wide shift to preemptively comply with the administration's protectionist push.Global drugmakers rush to boost US presence as tariff threat looms | ReutersTrevor Milton, the disgraced founder of electric-truck startup Nikola, is somehow back as a CEO—this time leading SyberJet Aircraft, a private jet manufacturer, according to reporting by Techdirt. Milton was convicted of fraud for deceiving investors about Nikola's technology, most famously releasing a misleading video of a prototype truck that was actually rolling downhill, not self-propelled. He was sentenced to four years in prison but never served a day, thanks to a pardon from Donald Trump earlier this year—reportedly after donating millions to Trump-aligned causes and hiring the brother of current Attorney General Pam Bondi as his attorney.Now, just months after that pardon, Milton has been tapped to lead development of a new high-speed jet for SyberJet, with promised performance metrics that already sound suspiciously ambitious. The company, privately backed, won't need to answer to public shareholders—but it will still need investor trust to raise money for a jet not slated for delivery until 2032. TechDirt points out how the company's promotional material leans into rewriting Milton's history, calling him “renowned” rather than acknowledging the full scope of his fraudulent past.The piece underscores a broader theme of “failing upward,” highlighting how white-collar offenders, especially white men with political connections, often land on their feet despite serious criminal convictions–and has some interesting implications for the future career of George Santos. Milton's quick rebound from federal fraud conviction to C-suite leadership is less an exception than a reminder of how accountability gaps persist in American corporate culture.Convicted Fraudster Trevor Milton Rides His Trump Pardon To Another CEO Job, Somehow | TechdirtIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I dive in to the governor's race in my home state. The 2025 New Jersey gubernatorial race has become a tax-policy showdown between Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill—both of whom are framing affordability as their central mission, but doing so with deeply flawed approaches. Ciattarelli is offering aggressive tax cuts and structural overhauls that are, frankly, reckless in a state with a delicate and complicated fiscal ecosystem. His plan to flatten income tax brackets and slash corporate rates isn't just optimistic—it's ahistorical. We've seen this movie before in Kansas, where sweeping tax cuts led to revenue collapse, credit downgrades, and bipartisan regret. Ciattarelli is essentially proposing a rerun, but with no clearer escape plan if it fails.Sherrill, by contrast, is pragmatic to the point of inertia. Her emphasis on municipal service sharing and administrative tweaks is fine as far as it goes—but it doesn't go very far. Her promise to freeze utility rates via emergency powers, for instance, isn't just legally questionable, it also misdiagnoses the issue: state governments don't control wholesale energy prices. It's a symbolic gesture dressed up as policy.Neither candidate seems willing to address the structural drivers of New Jersey's notoriously high property taxes, preferring instead to nibble around the edges or promise caps that could backfire. That's a missed opportunity. As I argue in the column, New Jersey doesn't need sweeping cuts or more bureaucratic tinkering—it needs targeted relief for the people who actually feel the pinch. Expanding the state Earned Income Tax Credit and implementing a robust child tax credit would offer immediate, evidence-backed help to those struggling most with affordability. These aren't radical ideas; they're already working in other states.Ciattarelli's plan is built on trickle-down economics and wishful math. Sherrill's is built on competent management, but lacks ambition. The voters deserve more than either of those options.Tax Platforms in NJ Governor's Race Leave Out the Best Ideas This is a public episode.

We discussed a few things including:1. Their career journeys2. Merck's venture strategy and GHIF story3. MSD Idea Studios4. CVC landscape and trends5. Outlook for pharma and innovationBill has led MSD Global Health Innovation (GHI) since 2010, playing a strong role in the US company's transition a decade ago from general consumer pharmaceuticals to a focus on biopharmaceuticals and oncology.With 45 portfolio companies and about 80% having commercial agreements with MSD, His approach of always seeking to understand and solve the parent company's core challenges has proven successful.Last year, the fund expanded beyond the US, launching two accelerator programms, one in Berlin covering central Europe and one in Singapore covering 10 Asian countries. The accelerators will also invest at an earlier stage than the growth stage-focused core GHI fund has typically done.Both in the US and abroad, GHI is focused on four key areas of pharma services: drug discovery, clinical development, supply chain and patient access.In drug discovery, Bill is particularly excited about AI and machine learning allowing drugs to be identified faster. The fund has invested in about 12 companies applying AI to biology, chemistry and vaccines in the past two years, with a belief that these technologies are on the cusp of a breakthrough.Clinical development is another critical focus, especially in patient diversity and trial management.The unit is also exploring supply chain innovations, with systems tracking raw materials coming in and finished goods going out, much like a “control tower at an airport”.A veteran of the venture capital sector, Bill maintains that corporate venture capital is becoming increasingly sophisticated. He believes corporate venture capital has now established itself as “part of the ecosystem of investing” and offers unique value that traditional investors cannot.----Joel is a seasoned executive with extensive experience in venture investments and strategic innovation within the healthcare sector. With a career spanning over two decades, he has held pivotal roles at renowned organizations like Merck, J&J, and JPMorgan, focusing on biotech, corp dev and health equity.

Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you. In this video, we'll discuss some of the pharmaceutical industry's secrets, the truth about prescription drugs, and the money-making scheme known as the US healthcare system. Pharma meds were never designed to “fix” you. In this video, we'll discuss some of the pharmaceutical industry's secrets, the truth about prescription drugs, and the money-making scheme known as the US healthcare system. In 1938, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act redefined the word “drug,” giving Big Pharma a monopoly over your body. By this new definition, any natural remedy, such as a plant, herb, or food that helps an ailment in some way, can now be classified as a drug.In 1900, there were fewer than 200 diseases. There are now over 17,000! This has allowed disease to become a huge, profitable business. Drug patents are protected and policed by the FDA. This means you can not sell or profit from a natural remedy, even if it's backed by legitimate research, without FDA approval.

Dr. Nikki Maphis didn't just lose a grant. She lost a lifeline. An early-career Alzheimer's researcher driven by her grandmother's diagnosis, Nikki poured years into her work—only to watch it vanish when the NIH's MOSAIC program got axed overnight. Her application wasn't rejected. It was deleted. No feedback. No score. Just gone.In this episode, Oliver Bogler pulls back the curtain on what happens when politics and science collide and promising scientists get crushed in the crossfire. Nikki shares how she's fighting to stay in the field, teaching the next generation, and rewriting her grant for a world where even the word “diversity” can get you blacklisted. The conversation is raw, human, and maddening—a reminder that the real “war on science” doesn't happen in labs. It happens in inboxes.RELATED LINKS:• Dr. Nikki Maphis LinkedIn page• Dr. Nikki Maphis' page at the University of New Mexico• Vanguard News Group coverage• Nature article• PNAS: Contribution of NIH funding to new drug approvals 2010–2016FEEDBACK:Like this episode?
