Molecule to Market: Inside the outsourcing space

Reimagining drug development


Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jen Nwankwo, Founder and CEO at 1910 Genetics.

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

  • Being the first PHD at Bain's Global HQ, and what she learned from the experience
  • How she stumbled across AI and open innovation as it applied to R&D productivity, and accelerating clinical trials
  • The founding story of 1910, and fundraising as an African American female entrepreneur and going on to be backed by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Y Combinator and Microsoft...
  • Signing a five-year agreement with Microsoft to create an AI-driven drug discovery and development platform that helps R&D teams generate drugs faster and cheaper
  • Why artisanal and serendipitous drug development does not cut it. And the spectrum of AI experts Vs AI novices in pharma... and why a 'FOMO attitude' will lead to 'pilot fatigue', and slow adoption
  • Before founding 1910, Jen worked at the intersection of life science, technology, and business. Prior roles include Management Consultant at Bain & Company, Director of Business Development at a health-tech startup (pre-seed to Series A), and drug discovery stints at Novartis and Eli Lilly. During her Ph.D. research, Jen was an HHMI Predoctoral Fellow at the medical schools of Tufts University and Harvard University.
