I enjoyed visiting with Biotechnology Innovation Organization CEO John F. Crowley at our Portal Innovations, LLC Chicago labs. I’m inspired by John’s vision for the future of biotech innovation. We talked about the need and opportunity to welcome more diverse talent to our companies to help scale transformative science for patients. We also discussed the growing importance of connecting distributed ecosystems adjacent to world-class research institutions using new techbio tools such as AI and quantum to target previously intractable diseases for a broader set of patients. Thanks John Conrad CEO of Illinois Biotechnology Innovation Organization (iBIO) for hosting the visit.

Unlocking innovation – how to take your research idea from concept to reality! We invited researchers and entrepreneurs in Norway to our drug discovery seminar co-hosted with ShareLab at Forskningsparken - Oslo Science Park. We were thrilled to have Georg Vo Beiske at Tribune Therapeutics share his experience with us. During the seminar, we also tackled several interesting questions from the audience. One of those were - toxicity studies versus compound optimization, at which end do you start? Focus on the big picture and use a balanced approach. The winner is likely not the one with the absolute best solubility or potency. A compound with a good overall profile can go far too! Our seminar also emphasized the importance of designing your "killer" experiment early in the process. How will your compound compare to the treatments available on the market? By anticipating the toughest questions from potential investors and stakeholders, you can ensure your drug stands out from the rest!

Exciting Times for European Biotech! The European biotech landscape is buzzing with innovation and groundbreaking projects! As we steer into the future, we're witnessing remarkable advancements that are set to shape the healthcare and technology sectors. Recently, I came across a news article highlighting the launch of several high-impact biotech projects across Europe. One notable initiative is the comprehensive research into gene editing led by a consortium of biotech firms from the UK, Germany, and France. This project aims to revolutionise treatments for genetic disorders, offering hope to millions. Another milestone is a major collaboration between Nordic countries focusing on sustainable biomanufacturing, which promises to reduce the carbon footprint of pharmaceutical production. These projects not only demonstrate Europe's commitment to scientific excellence but also underline the vision for a healthier, sustainable future. Having spent years in the biotech industry, I can personally attest to the immense potential of these collaborations. They reflect the collective expertise and a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The support from the European Union, in terms of funding and policy frameworks, has been instrumental in accelerating these innovations. It's an inspiring time to be part of this community, and I look forward to seeing the tangible benefits these projects will bring. How do you see these developments shaping the future?

A 2018 article from Nature found that more than 50% of biological research may not be reproducible. This problem is especially evident in longevity science, and is one of the largest hurdles to innovation. Before investing in a new company, Ichor makes a point to directly validate findings by replicating results. Longevity Technology released an interview with CEO Kelsey Moody today about why this is important, you can check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eyJQHWiH #biotech #innovation #ichorlifesciences #drugdevelopment

This weekend at Aspen Ideas: Health, BioAge CEO Kristen Fortney, PhD joins thought leaders in longevity and rejuvenation biotech to discuss the research and technologies that are bringing us closer to extending human healthspan. On the agenda: Today, scientists are deeply engaged in efforts to slow aging and eliminate age-related diseases by editing genes, reprogramming cells, and developing novel molecular therapeutics. AI-driven technologies are sorting through existing compounds to repurpose them for longevity. Biotech companies are developing therapies that target metabolic aging to improve the effectiveness of new weight-loss drugs. Mission-driven entrepreneurs are attracting funding for all of this so promising longevity work can move swiftly from the lab to the clinic. How do all of these rapidly progressing parts fit together to define the future of human health? Joining Kristen on stage will be Laura Deming, venture partner and co-founder of age1 and CEO of Cradle, and Richard Klausner, founder and chief scientist of Altos Labs. Allison Aubrey, food and health correspondent for NPR News, will moderate. https://lnkd.in/gqiXdfUa #AspenIdeasHealth creates a forum for experts and visionaries to share knowledge and experience, offering a unique opportunity to turn ideas into action and forge a path toward better health for all.
