Molecule to Market: Inside the outsourcing space

Mission-driven doctor, inventor & entrepreneur


Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Doctor Eric Edwards, Co-Founder and CEO at Phlow.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Eric, covering:

  • How a life-threatening allergy for him and his identical twin brother led to a career in medicine and then an entrepreneurial journey in the pharma space
  • The journey from inventors to becoming a commercial pharma company... followed by a $310m exit
  • How a plan to support a shortage in critical medicines for children took a turn as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived
  • The US Government awarded a $899m contract to help rebuild the domestic industrial base for Covid medicines and longer-term advanced manufacturing
  • The paradox of innovative, specialty, expensive medicines vs. drug shortages for basic essential medicines that everyone should be able to access
  • As CEO, Eric has assembled a world-class team committed to providing a solution to the broken essential medicines supply chain and the overreliance on foreign manufacturers for the US' highest priority medicines.

    He previously co-founded Kaléo, where he held several executive management positions, including Chief Science Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Vice President.

    Dr. Edwards is the co-inventor of multiple marketed products for treating allergic emergencies (anaphylaxis), named on over 215 issued and patent-pending applications.

    As a Doctor of Medicine and a Biology Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Eric also continues to serve his community by volunteering on a local rescue squad. This includes responding to 911 calls and training paramedics in pre-hospital emergency care.
