Ep. 246 - Wilson’s Vision for Gene Therapy. Plus: Korea Biotech & Grand Rounds
Description
Pharmaceutical companies and some investors may have once again become wary of gene therapy, but the modality’s future is bright, according to Jim Wilson. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss takeaways from BioCentury’s exclusive interview with the AAV trailblazer, including Wilson’s prediction that the benefits of the therapies will extend beyond rare genetic diseases, and the rationale for his new therapeutics company, Gemma Biotherapeutics.
BioCentury’s head of corporate alliances & business development, Josh Berlin, then joins the podcast team to detail the challenges and opportunities for biotech in South Korea, and to preview some of the highlights of the upcoming Grand Rounds conference. The event, BioCentury’s first R&D conference, takes place Sept. 9-11 in Nashville, Tenn. and tackles the roadblocks in the translation of science into new medicines.
