• Ep. 290 - Biotech Survey Sees Tough Days Ahead. Plus: FDA, China Speed

  The biotech community is reeling, fearful and furious about the fallout of tariff, FDA and NIH policies, according to BioCentury’s newly released Risk Sentiment survey. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss takeaways from the survey, which polled 328 biopharma stakeholders during April 10-14. The editors dissect the latest from Washington, including comments from FDA Commissioner Marty Makary on a new pathway for ultrarare drugs and his plans to reform advisory committee meetings, as well as last week’s executive order on drug pricing. They also discuss how China’s biotechs may have cracked one of the key bottlenecks for both speeding up and de-risking early drug development — and what this means for U.S. biotech.

• Ep. 289 - Replacing Animal Models. Plus: RFK Jr. & FDA

  FDA’s plan to move away from animal toxicity testing could expedite INDs and cut costs for biopharma companies, while helping the U.S. maintain its position as a clinical research hub. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss the agency’s new three-year road map to reduce animal safety studies for mAbs. The editors then discuss the deepening morale crisis at FDA after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the agency of corruption, encouraged staff to report supervisors over approval decisions they oppose, and endorsed conspiracy theories about the “deep state.” They assess the impact of whipsawing tariff policies and turmoil at FDA on biotech indexes — and why the sky isn’t falling just yet for biotech’s specialist investors. The editors also highlight recent stories on base editors’ efficiency boom and how exosomes are finding new life.
