Can a new approach to cancer drug resistance give late-stage patients another chance when existing treatments stop working? 🧬❤️

The future of business, AI, and innovation isn't built without removing friction. On the Zero Friction Podcast, brought to you by RevRx AI, we explore the groundbreaking ideas, technologies, and visionary leaders transforming healthcare, MedTech, and the future of business.

In this episode, our host Terry Coutsolioutsos sits down with Anita Davidson, Co-Founder and CEO of Creative Biotherapeutics, to discuss the company's mission to address one of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment: drug resistance.

With more than 40 years of experience as a physical therapist, healthcare business builder, entrepreneur, and patient advocate, Anita brings a unique perspective to biotech. Together with her husband, cancer biochemist Dr. Donald Davidson, she co-founded Creative Biotherapeutics to develop new approaches for patients with late-stage, treatment-resistant cancers.

Anita explains how cancer cells can develop survival mechanisms that allow them to resist chemotherapy and evade the immune system—and how Creative Biotherapeutics is developing a novel biologic designed to target the mechanisms behind that resistance. Their goal is not only to improve treatment effectiveness, but also to prioritize quality of life and create new options for patients who may otherwise have few remaining choices.

The conversation also dives into the business side of biotech innovation. Anita shares the realities of bootstrapping a biotech company, navigating regulatory requirements, raising capital, finding mission-aligned investors, and learning from setbacks along the way. She discusses why relationships and warm introductions are critical in fundraising, the importance of carefully vetting potential investors, and why bringing a promising therapy from the laboratory to patients can be one of healthcare's biggest friction points.

If you're a healthcare leader, biotech entrepreneur, investor, researcher, patient advocate, or anyone interested in cancer research and the future of healthcare innovation, this episode offers valuable insights into the science, business, and personal mission behind developing new cancer therapies.
