Update: 2025-10-15
Description
In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, host Joe Pardavila sits down with Dr. Ramin Farhood and Dr. Kirk Shepard, co-authors of Voices of Oncology and co-founders of the Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS). Together, they share how breaking down silos, fostering collaboration, and elevating the patient voice are reshaping the future of oncology drug development. Farhood and Shepard reflect on their decade-long partnership in oncology, the lessons learned from working across functions, and why they believe true progress depends on bringing every perspective to the table—from scientists and regulators to patients and advocates. They discuss the “moonshot” mindset, the surprising insights from more than 30 contributors to their book, and how advances in AI and real-time FDA review processes are accelerating the path from research to treatment. This conversation highlights the optimism, challenges, and collaborative breakthroughs driving innovation in cancer care—and why building a global community of experts is essential to finding cures.
