Medicine To Market News’ Post

Stories making headlines today in the biopharma industry: Merck's CMO, Eliav Barr, has declared the organization's intention to magnify its immunology pipeline through further deals, specifically focusing on cardiometabolic drugs and immunology. In other news, GSK has pledged to purchase Aiolos Bio, a clinical-stage asthma drugmaker, for a hefty $1.4 billion. This development has facilitated one of the swiftest startup reveal-to-acquisition journeys in biotech history, as Aiolos Bio was only unveiled three months ago, bolstered by the backing of a number of renowned investors. Meanwhile, rumors indicating a possible acquisition of the biotechnology company Cytokinetics by Novartis have been downplayed by the latter's CEO, Vas Narasimhan. In an interview with CNBC, he emphasized Novartis' focus on smaller, "$5 billion or less" assets, debunking the alleged buyout speculation. On another note, radiopharma firm Lantheus has initiated collaboration with Perspective Therapeutics, investing $28M upfront to secure an exclusive licensing deal directed towards an alpha-targeted therapy for neuroendocrine tumors. This move is set to extend its hand even further in the radiopharma sphere and solidify its presence in this field. #pharma #biotech #topstories #biodatastudio
