Monopolies! They're a problem as old as our country itself. On this week's TLDR, we talk to Denise Hearn and Vass Bednar, authors of The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians, about how Canadian companies got so big. And, we look at a surprising proposal for tackling the problem (at least in the airline industry). Plus, we explore how a new wonder drug could spell the end of the opioid epidemic. And, we watch as the pump and dump gets a makeover for the digital age.This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz, with appearances by writers Vass Bednar and Denise Hearn.

"Oh, the people you'll meet, and the places you'll go..."That classic Dr. Seuss line couldn't have been more true when I found myself at a rare disease conference, taking with Dr. Gabriel Cohn. A quiet presence with a resume that reads like a roadmap through the last 30 years of rare disease breakthroughs, Dr. Cohn is the kind of person who reminds you just how much heart and science it takes to change lives.Dr. Gabe Cohn is the Executive Director and Medical Director of the Rosenau Family Research Foundation. He stepped into the role in October, bringing with him over three decades of experience that spans academic medicine and the biotechnology industry. A licensed, board-certified Clinical Geneticist and Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Dr. Cohn has contributed to the development of multiple therapeutics aimed at treating rare genetic disorders—a career built on both clinical precision and compassionate innovation.Beyond RFRF, he's also the Chief Medical Officer at iECURE, Inc., a biotech company pioneering gene editing therapies for rare diseases. His prior leadership roles at Homology Medicines, AVROBIO, OvaScience, and Shire reflect a steady focus on advancing gene therapy and editing platforms. Since 2017 alone, he's played a pivotal role in getting five different cell and gene therapy programs past the critical regulatory gatekeeping stages of IND and CTA submissions.Dr. Cohn isn't just a scientist—he's a builder, a connector, and a relentless advocate for the potential of genetic medicine to rewrite the future for patients with rare diseases.If you would like to get a hold of the Rosenau Foundation: https://rosenaufoundation.org Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

187 - Mason Marangella (Vertex Effects) In episode 187 of “Have Guitar Will Travel”, presented by Vintage Guitar Magazine, host James Patrick Regan speaks with guitarist and owner and founder of Vertex Effects Mason Marangella. Tom Bukovac calls him “Sweet Mason”. In their conversation Mason tells us about his studio where he has a wealth of classic amplifiers, pedals, pedalboards and a crazy guitar collection with one of just about every type of guitar you would want and Mason tells us about where he gets stuff repaired when it's beyond what he can repair himself. Mason discusses his company Vertex Effects and what he does: buffers, boosts pedalboards all used by the top session guitarists as well as performing guitarists. Mason also talks about his YouTube channel and podcast “Chairmen of the Board” where Mason and his contemporaries discuss pedals, pedalboards and their components. Mason tells us how he initially got his pedals in to the hands of the top Nashville players and how he started in the field of pedals in the first place. Mason explains what a “buffer” does and the optimum pedal signal chain. Mason talks about a project he documented on YouTube having a Gibson R9 Les Paul transformed into a 1959 Gibson Les Paul the way 1956 Goldtop Les Pauls are transformed into the 1958 features and what the results were. Finally Mason takes us through what he's looking at for the future. . To find out more about Mason and Vertex Effects you can go to his website vertexeffects.com or the Vertex YouTube channel.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma e Biotech world.The CDC has reinstated around 460 employees who were previously fired, with the rehired staff working on viral disease prevention efforts and sexual health testing labs. This comes amid protests and shake-ups at the agency, including the overhaul of the vaccine advisory committee. Experts are concerned about newly appointed members, some of whom are known anti-vaxxers, potentially relitigating recommendations. Sen. Bill Cassidy is being urged to step up in response to these concerns.In other news, NuVation has received FDA approval for its oral lung cancer drug, Biontech has acquired CureVac in a $1.25 billion all-stock deal, and RFK Jr. has named new CDC vaccine advisors following a "clean sweep." Additionally, InVitro Cell Research is focused on discovering interventions to slow aging and prevent age-related diseases and is hiring scientists. The newsletter also includes information on layoffs at Genentech and Vertex.RFK Jr. has named eight new members to the CDC vaccine committee, replacing the 17 members he removed earlier in the week. The new choices seem to align with Kennedy's anti-vaccine views, causing concern among analysts. The HHS secretary's decision to appoint these scientists has raised questions about the committee's future direction.
Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.The American Medical Association is calling for a Senate probe into RFK Jr. after he removed all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine advisory board. They are also urging an immediate reversal of the HHS Secretary's decision. In other news, FDA leaders promise support for gene therapy as it faces challenges, Novo Nordisk invests over $800 million in discovering oral obesity drugs, and a new company, InVitro Cell Research, focuses on interventions to slow aging and prevent age-related diseases. FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and CBER Director Vinay Prasad published an article outlining the FDA's priorities, including accelerating cures and deploying artificial intelligence quickly. Other news includes Lilly's muscle-preserving treatment pact, Vertex laying off staff after axing a diabetes asset, and Genentech reshuffling in South San Francisco. Recursion cuts workforce by 20%.FDA leaders have pledged support to gene therapy makers as the industry faces challenges in commercialization. Despite huge valuations, gene therapies are struggling to reach the market. Poor communication about the value of groundbreaking treatments is hindering their prospects. Right of first negotiation deals do not always lead to mergers and acquisitions, as found by Jefferies in their analysis of licensing deals. Trilink's new comprehensive IVT kit simplifies the production of mRNAs. In other news, Lilly strikes a $650 million deal for a muscle-preserving treatment, Odyssey ends its quest for Nasdaq, BMS expands its radiopharma presence, and SpliceBio secures $135 million in funding for protein splicing medicines. Novo ups its obesity efforts with an $800 million pact, while Cullinan makes a $700 million deal for autoimmune T cell engager in China.Thank you for listening to Pharma and Biotech Daily.

Damian Sanchez, (Damian J to music fans) is a Miami-based jazz musician. A car accident landed him in the hospital with multiple fractures to his leg. Once there, he faced the difficult decision of whether or not to take the pain medication that was offered to him. With patients like Damian in mind, Dr. Paul Negulescu and the research team at Vertex are thinking differently about pain – they’re investigating potential non-opioid based treatment options that aim to target pain differently. This episode of Targeting the Toughest Diseases is sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.Former Chinook board member, Rouzbeh Haghighat, has been indicted for insider trading related to Novartis' $3.2 billion acquisition of the company. Despite this scandal, pharma R&D spending increased in 2024, climbing 1.5% across the global pharmaceutical sector. The acquisition of SiteOne by Lilly follows Vertex into the non-opioid pain space, providing diversification for Lilly, which has been focusing on obesity and diabetes treatments. Meanwhile, AbbVie's Allergan cuts over 200 staff after a botched marketing campaign, and Inflarx axes a rare skin disease study due to disappointing late-stage data.AGC Biologics will be at Bio International in Boston to showcase their global capabilities in drug production. Vaccine overhaul, rocket grounding, and drug price transparency are also highlighted in the latest news. Biogen's strategy for Zurzuvae shifts as obstetricians/gynecologists rise to the front lines. Drug price transparency in the US is discussed as being easier said than done. Additionally, Rocket's gene therapy for Danon disease is on hold after a patient death, and four biotechs are facing uncertainty in the COVID-19 vaccine landscape.Global pharmaceutical companies are increasing their research and development spending despite political and economic challenges. Biogen is shifting its strategy for the drug Zurzuvae as obstetricians and gynecologists become more involved. Drug price transparency in the US is still a challenge, despite efforts to increase transparency. Trilink has introduced a new poly(A) tail modification to enhance protein expression.In other news, a former Chinook board member has been indicted for insider trading, Trump has appointed Dr. Oz to lead drug pricing negotiations, and Lilly is following Vertex into non-opioid pain treatment with a SiteOne acquisition. Sanofi has purchased Vigil for $470 million to reignite an Alzheimer's target.

There were tears, laughter, and unforgettable stories. We were honored to be joined by a Grief Counselor who helped guide us through the complex feelings that surfaced during our conversation.This episode is a raw, real, and uplifting tribute to the strength, vulnerability, and love that caregivers bring to their roles every single day.Join us for a conversation that honors the heart of caregiving and the power of community.You'll hear from:(00:00:00) Laura Bonnell - Host - (Egypt, Foundation programs, legislation)(00:16:49) Lois Teicher - CF Grandmother (Laura's Mom) (00:19:05) Natalie Wicks Lois's partner(00:21:36) Julie Weatherhead - Grief Doula(00:28:45) Sharon Tischio - CF Mom(00:33:08) Cambria Whitaker - CF Mom in a queer/transgender relationship(00:38:55) Theresa Dagget, MSU Clinic, Respiratory Therapist, CF coordinator(00:49:00 ) Dorothy Stratford,CF Family Caregiver(00:52:15) Jillian Rogers Smith, 33 year old CF Patient and Dad, Bill Rogers (01:01:40) CF Mom to 6 year old daughter Louisa(01:07:28) Wendi Tague (Nurse Coordinator) and Claire Haglund (Social Worker) Present but not on the microphone were Joe Bonnell (Laura's husband), Jeannette Bovensie (Dorothy's Mom) and Dani Nettleton and daughter.Claire Haglund: CHaglund@dmc.orgWendi Tague: wtague@dmc.orgLois Teicher (Laura's Mom): Loisteicher@yahoo.comNatalie Wicks: Piccolo35@gmail.comTheresa Daggett: daggett3@msu.eduCambria Whittaker: cambriawhitta@gmail.comDorothy Straford: dstrat701@gmail.comSharon Tischio: stischio@comcast.netJamie Rudnycky: jamie.rudnycky@gmail.comJulie Weatherhead: weathervanecounseling@gmail.comJillian Smith, Jillian's Jay Walkers: jill@jilliansjaywalkers.org And Jillian's Dad, Bill Rogers Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Cystic Fibrosis and obesity? Until recently this has not been a topic of conversation for the CF community. The reason for obesity in the CF community is better health and longer lives, so the concern is now a reality. University of Michigan CF doctor, Carey Lumeng is researching the issue. As he says in this podcast, researchers have a lot to learn about the connection between better health in CF and obesity. We also talk about The Bonnell Foundation fellowship program. A few years ago we started the program to encourage doctors to work in the specialty field of cystic fibrosis. Dr. Lumeng is one of the doctors who oversees this program.Dr. Lumeng is the Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor for the Cure and Prevention of Birth Defects and Professor in Pediatrics and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Dr. Lumeng is the Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonology at the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Associate Director of the Michigan MSTP Program.He grew up in Indiana and graduated from Princeton University in Molecular Biology. He received his PhD in Human Genetics and MD from the University of Michigan and completed residency training in Pediatrics in the Boston Combined Pediatrics Residency Program at Boston Children's Hospital and Boston Medical Center. He then completed fellowship training in Pediatric Pulmonology at the University of Michigan and started as faculty in 2006. He runs a research lab focused on the health effects of obesity and the links between metabolism and lung health. The laboratory participates in both basic science and translational research projects in adult and pediatric obesity. He is funded by the NIH and the CF Foundation for new projects studying the changing causes of diabetes in people with CF.To contact the CF pediatric department (the Bonnell girls are pictured on this page): https://www.mottchildren.org/conditions-treatments/cystic-fibrosis-pediatric?pk_vid=6ff46bd2d38fe04c1739891353f5b28b Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.The White House has announced a new drug pricing policy that includes the revival of the most favored nations rule and extends to the private markets, leveraging the patent system, drug importation, and more. Meanwhile, Lilly's Zepbound has been found to have a superior benefit-risk ratio compared to Novo's Wegovy, BMS and Sanofi settle a Plavix lawsuit with Hawaii for $700 million, and biopharma companies are focusing on developing a cure for HIV as federal funding for related research is being cut. Sino Biological offers comprehensive solutions for autoimmune diseases, and Roche promises a $300 million investment in China production after a multibillion-dollar investment in the US. On the other hand, Lexeo and IGM have both announced significant layoffs. Novartis CEO has expressed concerns about Trump's pricing controls.Funding for HIV-related research and infrastructure is being cut by the Trump administration, leading biopharma companies like Gilead and Immunocore to focus on finding a cure for HIV. In the field of neurology, there is a need for more precise diagnostic tools to effectively treat neurodegenerative conditions. The new HHS vaccine requirement has been criticized by leading vaccine physician Paul Offit as potentially being anti-vaccine activism disguised as policy. Companies like Novartis, Bayer, and AstraZeneca are exploring new indications and innovations in radiopharmaceuticals, hoping to capitalize on a market that could reach $16 billion by 2033. The FDA has faced delays in reviewing certain drugs, while biotech stocks have fallen after the appointment of Vinay Prasad to succeed Marks at CBER. Vertex has decided to abandon AAV in the gene therapy space.Upcoming events include a webinar on surviving and thriving in the biotech downturn. Job opportunities in the biopharma industry include positions at Takeda, Daiichi Sankyo, and AbbVie. Heather McKenzie, senior editor at BioSpace, is open to suggestions for future coverage topics in neuroscience, oncology, cell & gene therapy, metabolic, or other areas.

A 70-year-old person with cystic fibrosis. It's a phrase that wasn't just uncommon a few decades ago—it was virtually unheard of.When Luanne McKinnon was diagnosed in 1969 at just 13 years old, doctors told her parents she might live to be 19 years old. Today, Luanne stands on the edge of her 70th birthday—a milestone that not only redefines possibility but embodies resilience, creativity, and purpose.Born in Dallas, Texas in 1955, Luanne was diagnosed at a time when cystic fibrosis was still barely understood. No vests. No targeted medications. No community. And yet, she carved out a life of profound impact. “I stand as a witness to the possible.” says Luanne McKinnonAfter earning a Master of Fine Art in Painting and a PhD in Art History, she launched a celebrated career in the visual arts—owning an art dealership in New York City, directing major university museums, publishing works, and curating over 35 exhibitions. She even became a Fellow at the prestigious Getty Research Institute.And while that would be more than enough for most of us, Luanne continued to pour herself into advocacy—serving as Co-chair for Stanford's Patient and Family Advisory Committee, raising awareness for CF patients before and after transplant. In 2011, she underwent a successful double-lung transplant at Stanford, and fourteen years later, she is still very much living proof.This episode is not about her equally remarkable husband—EMMY award-winning filmmaker Daniel Reeve—though we'll mention him later. This is about Luanne—her life, her art, her truth, and her refusal to let a diagnosis define the limits of her possibility. She says, “I stand as a witness to the possible.”And after listening to this conversation, I think you'll believe in the possible, too.Welcome, to a very special episode of the Living with cystic fibrosis podcast and our incredible guest, Luanne McKinnon.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.President Donald Trump has issued an executive order to expedite the timeline for building new facilities in the US while increasing inspections on foreign plants. Despite a drop in venture capital fundraising in the first quarter of the year, large investments are still being made in the pharmaceutical industry. Companies like BMS are investing billions in US manufacturing despite potential tariffs. Vertex has seen success with their non-opioid pain drug launch and biopharma venture capital fundraising has declined, but median deal sizes remain high. Lotte Biologics offers specialized ADC manufacturing services in Syracuse, NY. Other news includes Lilly's ALS pipeline expansion, states suing to block HHS cuts, and layoffs at PTC despite a Phase II win. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode of Pharma and Biotech daily. Let's dive into the latest updates from the industry.
In his effort to onshore manufacturing, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday afternoon ordering the FDA to ease permitting processes for new and expanded U.S. facilities. The announcement comes as more and more Big Pharma companies commit billions to expanding their U.S. footprints. Bristol Myers Squibb CEO Christopher Boerner announced this week that the company will pump $40 billion into its stateside operations over the next five years, even as the pharma executes a massive cost-cutting effort that involves shaving $3.5 billion from expenses by 2027 and cutting thousands of jobs, including another 516 in New Jersey, according to a May WARN notice. In other policy news, the Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday said it will require all new vaccines to be tested in placebo-controlled trials to earn FDA approval but some vaccine experts have raised concerns about this approach. Meanwhile, turmoil still envelopes the FDA, with staff cuts and rehires continuing at a dizzying pace. On Monday, several states sued HHS, saying that the cuts offload critical functions and costs onto the states and impede public health efforts. As Q1 earnings season for Big Pharma begins to wind down, there are still headlines coming from the biotech sector. Vertex revealed last week that it is abandoning all of its adeno-associated virus vector work, while BioNTech on Monday announced that tariffs could get in the way of its ambitious plans for a closely watched PD-L1-VEGF therapy. Moderna, meanwhile, continues its fall from COVID grace, missing Q1 revenue expectations and announcing plans to reduce operating expenses by around $1.5 billion by 2027. In the weight loss space, Novo Nordisk announced on Friday that the FDA has accepted the application for a pill version of Wegovy, with a decision expected this fall. Novo has also struck partnerships with CVS and Hims & Hers pharmacies to market injectable Wegovy, drawing the attention of Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks. Also this week, check out BioSpace's deep dives into advances in base editing—a technology that's been touted as a “safer” CRISPR—and Summit Therapeutics' push to bring closely watched PD-1/VEGF immunotherapy ivonescimab to the U.S. market after its recent approval in China.
