When a biotech startup lands in a major index just months after its IPO, investors take notice. In this episode of Trader Talk, Kenny Polcari speaks with Amir Heshmatpour, executive chairman and president of NeOnc Technologies (NTHI), about how the company defied a tough market to go public, secure a $50 million partnership in the Middle East, and join the Russell Microcap Index. Heshmatpour explains NeOnc’s focus on intranasal drug delivery for brain cancer, the significance of its partnership with USC’s medical school, and how global clinical trials are expanding the company’s reach. The conversation also includes how AI and quantum computing could transform the biotech industry. It’s a rare behind-the-scenes look at how a small-cap biotech is executing on a global stage.
