With the European Union rolling back parts of its Green Deal — including scaling back major legislation such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive — and the US splintering into state‑by‑state sustainability mandates, global OTC companies are facing a fresh wave of uncertainty around their sustainability strategies. It’s no surprise, then, that many are acting and investing more cautiously. But for sustainability expert Steve Ramus, formerly VP for Sustainability & ESG at Perrigo, now is precisely when leadership matters most. Sustainability teams, he argues, should be helping their executives and boards see that doing the “right” thing is also the competitive thing. Companies that keep moving through the uncertainty, he says, will be faster, leaner and far better prepared than those waiting on the sidelines.

Tim Lu, CEO of Senti Bio, joins In Vivo to discuss how programmable cell therapies are solving oncology's targeting problem. Lu explains the logic-gated approach behind SENTI-202, an allogeneic CAR-NK therapy for relapsed/refractory AML that achieved 50% response rates in Phase 1 while avoiding the dose-limiting toxicities that have plagued other AML cell therapies.

We cover the Phase 1 ASH 2025 data showing 39% complete remission rates (all MRD-negative) with 7.6-month median duration, the rationale for using NK cells over T cells, and why synthetic biology's three-target logic gates can distinguish cancer from healthy bone marrow cells. Lu also discusses plans for pivotal trials following RMAT designation, expansion into solid tumors, and where biotech innovation is accelerating versus where clinical translation bottlenecks remain.

For biopharma professionals tracking cell therapy innovation, synthetic biology applications, and AML treatment advances.
