The Radiopharmaceutical Renaissance: Radiating Hope in Medicine

The year 2022 was a watershed year for the radiopharmaceuticals space with 25 strategic transactions and $527M invested from the VC community. Despite an overall downturn in the biotech market in the 2022-2023 timeframe, the strategic and VC activity within the radiopharmaceutical space has remained relatively strong. Indeed, the average raise for radiopharma sponsors in 2023 was $51M, which eclipsed that of 2022, $38M.

A Culture of Success – Emerging Trends in Cell Technology

The ability to facilitate the growth and expansion of mammalian cells in vitro has been at the backbone of a wave of therapeutic innovations in the biotech space. Increasingly the know-how, materials, and equipment to harness cells as factories to produce complex proteins for therapeutic uses is being directed toward consumer applications.

Vision of Commercial Success: Investment and Partnering Landscape for Psychedelics

A growing body of pre-clinical and clinical research has implicated the influence of bacteria on human health which over the last decade led to a flurry of venture capital and biopharma interest. The collection of non-human cells living within the gut, skin, and other tissues (collectively referred to as “microbiota” or the “microbiome”) has a profound influence on maintaining normal physiologic function (homeostasis).

Roaring 20s Redux: The Next Decade of Gene Therapy Innovation

Over the last five years, multiple gene therapies have been approved by regulatory agencies and a bolus of late-stage pipeline assets are approaching the market. As the first few gene therapies realize their potential as transformative treatments for the genetic rare diseases, the space is seen as a crucial part of growth for the biopharmaceutical industry. However, as the first gene therapies began to post early wins, several technical and commercial challenges emerged.
