Despite exceptional regional hubs and research strength, investors say Europe still needs more integrated incubators, smarter regulation and broader pools of patient capital to keep breakthrough companies growing at home.
Listen to Denatured
Unravel the business of science with BioSpace.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll be hearing from Edoardo Negroni, co-founder & managing partner at AurorA-TT and Naveed Siddiqi, senior partner, Venture Investments at Novo Holdings. We debate whether Europe’s world-class science can be matched by a truly integrated venture ecosystem—and what it would take, in practice, to get there.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll hear from Jason Jones, head of global business development at Cellular Origins and Alexander Seyf, founder & CEO of Autolomous. They discuss how the push to scale cell and gene therapy manufacturing is accelerating interest in automation, digitization, robotics and deeper collaboration across the ecosystem.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll listen to Dr. Marc Hedrick, President and CEO of Plus Therapeutics and Dr. Phil Kantoff, CEO & Co-founder of Convergent Therapeutics. They discuss breakthroughs like alpha-emitting isotopes, supply chain solutions and why radiotherapeutics is biotech’s next big frontier.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll listen to Sergey Jakimov, managing partner at LongeVC and Artem Trotsyuk, operating partner, US, LongeVC. We speak about how developers in the longevity space should stop chasing aging as an abstract target and concentrate on specific mechanisms that can clearly tackle age-related conditions.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll listen to Viswa Colluru, CEO and founder of Enveda and Akshay Rai, principal, Healthcare & Biotech Investments at Premji Invest. We speak about how AI platforms must now prove themselves through proprietary data, focused pipelines and clinical readouts in competitive diseases to garner investor interest.
In this episode of Denatured, you’ll listen to Oxana Iliach, senior director of regulatory strategy at Certara and Vera Pomerantseva, director of product management for risk-based quality management at eClinical Solutions. We speak about how the FDA’s latest decision to have one, rather than two pivotal studies, for new drug applications raises the bar for data collection and risk-based management.
Upcoming Events
Disease is driven by complex biological networks that remain only partially understood until experimentally resolved as a whole. Targets and compounds advance without clear biological understanding, leading to failure. AI and large-scale experimental data have scaled hypotheses and insights. The bottleneck now shifts to biological resolution.
