• Why China’s biotech boom may be unstoppable

  Earlier this month, Curie.Bio CEO Zach Weinberg joined Post-Hoc Live to give his take on why he thinks investors should stay away from Chinese biotechs. Today, we’re joined by Cui Cui, the head of Asia healthcare research at Jefferies, to get her perspective on the China biotech boom, and why US pharma companies keep turning to China for their deals (and not to US startups).

• The Sarepta mess

  In the last two weeks, Sarepta has been threatened by the FDA with having its drug pulled, refused to do so, then capitulated, and then won a reversal by the regulator. We'll talk with R.W.

  Things don’t look good for Sarepta. After reports of a third patient death on Thursday — this one in a clinical trial — which wasn’t disclosed by the company in its corporate update, an HHS official told Endpoints that the FDA would ask the company to stop shipping its Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment Elevidys. Stock is down. Leadership is under fire for not being transparent about patient deaths. Where does the company, and the gene therapy industry, go from here?

They’ll talk about microgravity chemistry, experiments in orbit, and what Varda plans to do with its new influx of cash.
