Ep. 274 - 2025 Biotech Preview: Markets, Catalysts and AI

With political uncertainty overshadowing market sentiment going into 2025, BioCentury’s editorial team assesses the bull and bear arguments for biotech in the New Year on the BioCentury This Week podcast’s Public Markets Preview. Will continued uncertainty drive biotech sentiment in the coming months, or will the bear arguments fail to manifest, stymied by M&A and other positive factors?
In the second part of the 2025 Preview, BioCentury’s editors highlight some of the key catalysts in bispecifics, immunology and inflammatory (I&I), new modalities, and neurology and obesity they are watching in the year ahead. Finally, the editors discuss how VC firms focused on AI-driven drug development are thinking about the resources and strategies needed to turn promise into reality. This episode of BioCentury This Week was sponsored by ICON Biotech.
