Beating the bear: 4Q24 Public Markets Preview on a new BioCentury podcast

Plus: Introducing this year’s China Summit, and what’s eating FDA’s advisory committees?

October 8, 2024 1:53 AM UTC

Biopharma buysiders and bankers at long last believe the conditions are ripe for biotech growth and outperformance, BioCentury’s Stephen Hansen says on the latest BioCentury This Week podcast. Hansen and colleagues take stock of the sector’s growth potential after three long years of the bear market as they discuss BioCentury’s 4Q24 Public Markets Preview.

Also on this week’s show, Washington Editor Steve Usdin discusses his Editor’s Commentary, in which he argues that FDA leaders planned reforms for its advisory committee process fall far short of what they need to do, which is “dramatically improve the quality of the advice they receive, even if those steps ruffle some feathers, and explain their actions.”

Usdin then delivers takeaways from the most recent edition of BioCentury This Week’s sister podcast, The BioCentury Show, which features a behind-the-scenes look at CMS’s anti-amyloid mAb decision-making process with Lee Fleisher, the former CMO of the agency.

Finally, BioCentury’s Josh Berlin joins the podcast to preview the eleventh annual BioCentury-BayHelix China Healthcare Summit, which runs Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 in Shanghai. The theme of this year’s conference, which features panels of pharma BD&L leaders and blue chip investors as well as a lineup of presenting companies, is reinventing your China strategy.
