On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors assess the implications of the FTC’s challenge to the $7.1 billion acquisition of cancer screening company Grail by next-generation sequencing company Illumina. They also discuss what’s at stake as the U.S. Supreme Court weighs arguments in the patent dispute over anti-PCSK9 mAbs between Sanofi and Amgen, and how CEOs of gene therapy companies are thinking about the competitive landscape at a time when products with preliminary evidence of safety and efficacy are dropping out of clinical development across multiple indications. This week’s podcast is sponsored by Jeito Capital.
