On this episode of Biotalk, Locust Walk’s podcast for biotech leaders, Geoff Meyerson shares our perspective on the Q2 Biopharma Market Conditions Report. A key takeaway from this episode is that companies should continue to focus on the factors they can control like building great companies which is a current financing challenge that is impacting how innovation is pursued. The unmet need is the ability of industry to meet that need and the FDA’s willingness to approve therapies. Eventually the macro economy will heal, companies need to do what they can to persist until then.

Hiroshi Yamamoto of Locust Walk had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Takuko Sawada, Vice Chairperson at Shionogi Inc., and discuss corporate strategy, operation, diversity and talent management, and R&D strategy.

Three seasoned RNA biotech CEOs joined Locust Walk’s Geoff Meyerson on a panel to discuss recent trends, lessons, and future directions of the transaction landscape for companies developing RNA therapeutics during our RNA Innovation Conference. The panel featured Josh Mandel-Brehm of CAMP4 Therapeutics, Jerry McMahon of STORM Therapeutics Limited, and Leslie J Williams of hC Bioscience, Inc.. The group discussed trends that have come forth as a function of current market conditions, such as the shift away from broad platform strategies towards asset-based, indication-specific drug development with a clear line of sight to the clinic.
