Ep. 223 - Biosecure, Bruce Booth & Ultrarare Drugs

Bills seeking to rein in Chinese CDMOs and genomics companies will deal a massive blow to biotech companies, if passed in their current form, according to results from an industry survey conducted by BioCentury. On The latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss results from the survey, including responses that underscore executives’ concerns that the legislation would cause delays in drug development and a majority’s displeasure with BIO’s about-face to support the measures.
They also discuss takeaways from Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn’s conversation on The BioCentury Show with Atlas Venture’s Bruce Booth, and lessons from Orchard Therapeutics on what it takes to get FDA’s approval for an ultrarare disease drug.
