In this episode of Cell & Gene: The Podcast, Host Erin Harris sits down with Peter Altman, Ph.D., CEO of BioCardia, to discuss the company’s evolution from a cardiac biotherapeutic delivery firm to a developer of autologous and allogeneic cell therapies for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Altman highlights BioCardia’s CardiAMP program, a precision medicine approach that pre-screens patients based on their cell profiles to improve trial outcomes and reduce costs. He explains why no cardiac cell therapy has yet received FDA approval, citing challenges in delivery, immune rejection, and arrhythmia risks. Altman outlines BioCardia’s near-term roadmap, including regulatory submissions in the U.S. and Japan and the launch of a second trial focused on patients most likely to benefit.
