The past week was filled with headline grabbing news, especially those related to Asian biotech or Asian biotechies:
1. Summit/Akeso’ “Keytruda killer” lived up to the expectation and dominated the headlines of all major biotech news outlets, and CNBC, which we elaborated with a commentary.
2. Candid Therapeutics debuted in the red hot T-cell engager for autoimmunity space, backed by Asian innovations, capital, and talents. Our commentary reveals the strong Asian support behind Candid’s impressive launch.
3. Yesterday, a few very experienced Asian biotech executives shared their insights on the global landscape of investment, deal-making, and partnership, under the new reality shaped by inflation reduction act and biosecure act in the biotech epicenter Kendall Square.
BioVerse 13 continued the success streak of our webinar series, and this one was particularly timely after the launch of Candid Therapeutics, whose Phase 1 BCMA-targeted T-cell engager was developed by David Gu’s company EpimAb Biotherapeutics. In addition, Proteologix CEO David Shen told the backstory behind his $850M acquisition by JNJ, while Kaveri Pohlman provided rich context of why I&I is so attractive.
