In this DDW podcast episode, host Bruno Quinney discusses two recent DDW articles: one on the urgent need to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with insights from Professor Janet Hemingway, and another on the rapid expansion of mRNA therapeutics. Hemingway highlights the growing pipeline of novel antibiotics and vaccines, the challenges SMEs face in clinical development, and the need for stronger incentives to re‑engage big pharma. The mRNA segment outlines how the technology, propelled by COVID‑19 vaccine success, has surged from a $3.4 billion market in 2018 to roughly $40 billion today, with emerging applications in vaccines, cancer, and protein replacement therapies. Both topics underscore how innovative drug discovery is addressing global health threats while confronting funding and regulatory hurdles.
In this episode of Business Game Changers, host Sarah Westall and Dr. Diane Kayser discuss the rapidly evolving peptide market, focusing on the upcoming weight‑loss peptide retatrutide (also called Reditrutide). They explain how big‑pharma is moving to control peptide supplements,...
In this episode, senior fellow Jessica Rose discusses her forthcoming paper on the shortcomings of the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and proposes a modernization framework. She highlights structural issues such as poor data quality, under‑reporting, lack of...
