The science around the microbiome is moving fast, consumers are clearly interested, and yet the category still runs into some long-standing problems in the European Union, not least the inconsistent way the word “probiotic” itself is treated across the region.

In this episode of HBW Insight’s Over the Counter podcast, we talk to Rosanna Pecere, Executive Director of IPA Europe, the European office of the International Probiotics Association. Rosanna tells us about a socioeconomic assessment that the association has recently published, which tries to put a figure on what probiotics are actually worth to society.

According to the report, round €10bn could be potentially saved with probiotic use, which Pecere says is probably on the conservative side. We talk about where that value comes from, from digestive and respiratory health through to mental wellbeing, and why the regulatory gap in the EU is holding so much of it back.

Clinical operations plays a decisive role in execution quality, data integrity, cost control, and development speed, yet it is often treated as a cost centre rather than a strategic function. In this episode, Claire Riches, VP, Clinical Solutions, Citeline is joined by Executive Consultant, Clinical Development Operations to discuss why clinical operations must be elevated into board‑level conversations. Together, they explore how clinops drives value, manages risk, and shapes long‑term development strategy, and what boards and executives need to understand to make better, more informed decisions.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of any major cancer — just 13%, largely because it's so hard to catch early. Changing that takes more than a lab breakthrough. It takes the unglamorous infrastructure to collect, track, and safeguard patient samples across dozens of institutions, reliably enough that researchers can trust what they find.

In this episode, host Krishna talks with Margaret Caspler, President and CEO of the PRECEDE Foundation — a consortium of more than 65 academic medical centers working to raise pancreatic cancer survival from 13% to 50% — and Kathi Shea, Chief Client Solutions Officer for Repository at Azenta Life Sciences, who has spent three decades in biorepository science. Together they explore why early detection has lagged, what it takes to run a biospecimen network at scale, and how a public-private partnership can do what neither side could alone.
