Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jodi Cook PhD, President and CEO at Skylark Bio.

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

  • How a curiosity for unanswered questions led her to a PhD and a career in biotech… and, ultimately, the magical, rare experience of getting a product to market
  • The full-circle moment that took Jodi from being an audiologist to becoming the preclinical biotech CEO of a gene therapy company focused on curing pediatric deafness
  • The reality of running a biotech company in the most challenging climate in a long time - and why she treats every dollar in the business as if it were her own
  • Dress to impress - no-nonsense advice on crafting the impression you want to leave on your audience
  • Why does she allow herself to dream of what Skylark can achieve as a business and the profound impact of gene therapies on patients?
  • Jodi is an operationally focused business leader with experience across public and private biotechnology and medical device organizations. She brings a unique combination of scientific, clinical development, operational, and commercialization expertise to Skylark.

    Before leading Skylark, Dr. Cook was Senior Vice President of Gene Therapy Strategy at PTC Therapeutics. Before that, she served as the founding Chief Operating Officer of Agilis Biotherapeutics, overseeing its $1 billion acquisition.

    She earned her Ph.D. from Arizona State University, a Master’s in Audiology from the University of South Carolina, and a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University Maryland. She completed a fellowship at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a Board Member of Fennec Pharmaceuticals and was previously Board Chair of STRM.BIO.
