Spotlight on China
The 20th annual BIO International Convention is wrapping up in Chicago. Experts and leaders from leading global biotechnology, biologics and investment companies gathered together to discuss the opportunities and challenges in the biologics industry. A large China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) delegation led by Deputy Commissioner Bian Zhenjia participated in a half-day session dedicated to developing a world-class therapeutic biologics industry in China. There has been a shift in recent years in the usage Read More >
Despite Low Funding, Biotech Productivity Remains High In 2013
At the 2013 BIO CEO & Investor Conference, John Milligan, President and COO of Gilead Sciences, spoke in a standing room only fireside chat with Joel Sendek, Managing Director of Stifel Nicolaus, who moderated the discussion. Nicolaus noted that Gilead’s market cap has grown at an astounding 40 fold over the past 15 years, and asked Milligan to speak about the current state of the biotech industry. Milligan explained that biotech is not becoming more Read More >
Data Exclusivity Protects Innovators and Assures Investors
Biotechnology companies must have some certainty that they can protect their investment in the development of new breakthrough therapies for a substantial period of time. This protection helps companies secure much-needed venture capital funding, which is the lifeblood of the industry. A failure to include substantial data exclusivity would undermine incentives to invest in biomedical innovation and thus would slow progress in the development of breakthrough therapies to improve the health and lives of patients Read More >
Reviewing the drug class of 2011
The drug class of 2011 was larger than the past few graduating classes. We count over 30 new “innovative” drugs found among the list of FDA approvals last year. This is in contrast to the 20-something range of the past few years. On the list are some clear breakthrough treatments and a few glimpses of “the future of biotech”. The specific drugs are listed further below, but first a big picture view: Ten of the approvals were for biologics, Read More >
Breast Cancer and Biotechnology: Bigger Than Pink
By David Welch, President/Senior Producer at M2 MultiMedia It had been five years since I produced Biotechnology: Knowledge Serving Life, a video that featured breast cancer patient Lori Lober and her then five year anniversary of being cancer free. Diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer in 2000 Lori had been admitted to an advanced clinical trial for a promising new biologic. Today, Lori credits her treatment for helping to save her life. During the Read More >
