One in ten women has endometriosis, yet treatment options remain largely unchanged for decades. Tanya Petrossian, CEO of EndoCyclic Therapeutics, explains how her company's non-hormonal peptide platform - now FDA-cleared for human trials - could finally change that.

Biopharma’s small-to-mid-cap players are stepping up as serious acquirers. David Wild and Scrip’s Jessica Merrill unpack how companies like argenx, Insmed, Jazz, Genmab, UCB, and BioMarin are using M&A to extend growth beyond their first commercial successes and what that shift means for investors, dealmaking, and the next generation of big biotechs.

On this episode of Strategic Intent, In Vivo’s David Wild sits down with Doug Love, President and CEO of Annexon Inc., to discuss how the company is transitioning from a platform-centric biotech into a commercial organization. Love walks through the distinct go-to-market strategies for an acute rare disease treated in hospitals versus a large chronic ophthalmology market served by retina practices, and explains how Annexon is building two dedicated commercial teams to support both launches. The conversation also covers Annexon’s oral complement inhibitor ANX1502, capital allocation priorities across late-stage and platform programs, and how most-favored-nation (MFN) pricing dynamics are influencing launch sequencing and ex‑US partnering plans.

In this episode of Proof of Concept, Krishna Bulusu joins us for an honest, industry-wide look at what AI and simulation can and can't do. Having spent years in oncology data science at AstraZeneca before becoming VP of Product Innovation & Strategy at Turbine, he's seen the problem from both sides — as the big-pharma adopter deciding whether to trust these tools, and as the builder creating them.

We cover how simulation is used to find and de-risk drug targets, why some AI tools get adopted while others stall, the translational gap between lab results and real patients, and the honest question of where the field is overhyped — and what would count as real proof.

On the heels of Eli Lilly recently committing $3.3bn across two recombinase-focused deals, the question for the field is which gene editing modality, and which delivery system, will get large genetic payloads safely into the right cells. ElevateBio's chief scientific officer Amy Pooler joins In Vivo's David Wild to argue that the answer isn't one technology, but many. In this episode, Pooler walks through ElevateBio's full editing stack: AI-designed large serine recombinases, retrotransposon-based insertion, generative AI-optimized base editors, and an LNP delivery platform that has now shown re-dosing and therapeutically meaningful editing in non-human primates. She also makes the case for epigenetic editing as a potentially underappreciated modality, one that could compete with small molecules in indications where you want potency and specificity without permanently rewriting the genome. And she explains why ElevateBio, with six consecutive years of revenue growth and a 98% manufacturing batch success rate, sees its end-to-end CDMO model as uniquely positioned to turn those tools into medicines partners can actually bring to the clinic.

Lyme disease is spreading, the last US vaccine was withdrawn in 2002, and the most recent attempt at a new one (Pfizer and Valneva's Phase III candidate) missed its primary endpoint earlier this year. Into that gap steps Tonix Pharmaceuticals with a different idea entirely: skip the vaccine and deliver the antibody directly.

In Vivo's David Wild talks to Tonix CEO Seth Lederman about TNX-4800, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting OspA on the Lyme-causing bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Lederman explains why the unusual biology of OspA makes it better suited to a monoclonal approach than a traditional vaccine, how the antibody works inside the tick's midgut to kill the bacteria and block their migration before they can enter a human host, and what the Phase I data tell us about safety, dosing, and the planned two-dose seasonal regimen. He also discusses the adaptive Phase II field study Tonix is preparing for 2027, the lessons (and the lack of information) from the Valor trial, and the long-term questions around who would use this product, how it would be reimbursed, and whether the health economic case can be made for a seasonal preventive in a disease whose chronic form remains medically and politically contested.

This debut video episode of the In Vivo podcast examines the successes and pitfalls of the commercial launch of Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), Kite Pharma’s CAR-T therapy for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma. David Wild, senior reporter at In Vivo, is joined by Harris Kaplan, who consulted on the launch and conducted interviews with physicians, nurses, and hospital administrators before and after it, and is managing partner of Litmys, a life sciences commercial strategy consulting firm; Diane Parks, who led the Yescarta launch for Kite; and Jim Haag, a patient who received CAR-T therapy. It's a candid, unfiltered look at the gap between what innovation promises and what the healthcare system actually delivers.
