Exploring Biotech-Academia Collaborations: Trends and Insights

A substantial part of the biopharma ecosystem involves deals between biotechs and academics, with smaller companies accessing assets to add to their pipelines and technologies to help solve problems. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss the interplay of biotech and academia, including how deals between the groups often come outside the hubs of Boston and the Bay Area and what types of indications and technologies are common focus points. They also discuss new data in Alzheimer’s for Leqembi from Eisai and Biogen that provide insight into how to get the most out of anti-amyloid mAbs for the disease, and what’s next for James Wilson now that the gene therapy pioneer is moving on from the University of Pennsylvania.
