The VC Biotech investor


Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Chris Garabedian, CEO at Xontogeny and Venture Fund Manager at Perceptive Advisors.

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

  • How he utilized his pharma experience to become a CEO and revitalize a biotech company, positioning it for a $15bn market cap
  • Why the biotech space had such a market downturn, and how the uptake in the industry will be data-driven
  • Demystifying the role of a biotech CEO and understanding what it takes to drive successful drug development
  • Why relying on outsourcing is critical for biotechs today
  • The emerging, secondary-tier biotech clusters in the US... but why does Boston remain unrivalled?
  • Chris Garabedian founded Xontogeny in June of 2016 to support multiple promising technologies from early development through clinical proof of concept. In 2017, Chris joined Perceptive Advisors to develop their Venture Fund strategy and is Portfolio Manager of the Perceptive Xontogeny Ventures Fund, which supports early-stage companies with Series A investments across biotech, medtech and healthtech.

    Chris has a broad base of experience and a track record of success over his decades-long experience in the biopharma industry. Chris served as the President and CEO of Sarepta Therapeutics from 2011 to 2015, overseeing the turnaround of a company that is now a commercial-stage leader in the genetic technology space. He also led Corporate Strategy for Celgene from 2007 to 2010 and served in several global commercial and corporate development leadership roles at Gilead from 1997 to 2005.

    He serves on the boards of several life sciences companies and speaks at industry conferences on a wide range of important issues. He is a member of the Corporate Relations Board for the Keck Graduate Institute. He has previously served on the Board of Directors of MassBio and is a Senior Advisor for the Boston Consulting Group.
