A conversation on the rising trends in the cardiology space

Cardiology has historically been a cornerstone of large pharmaceutical portfolios. The late 2000s and 2010s saw many pharmaceutical companies and investors abandon or severely deprioritize cardiology research and development in favor of oncology, immunology, and neurology.

During this episode of The Life Science Report, Dr. Pete Bak and Christian Thienel of Back Bay Life Science Advisors discuss the major players in the industry and novel approaches to future cardiology applications.

Episode topics include: 

• Why pharma’s interest in specialty-like approaches has shifted towards cardiology
• The promise of “advanced modalities” and gene therapies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)
• How these newer treatments stack up against traditional small molecule orals, like statins
• Clinical stage pipeline analysis across cardiology and visible trends on the horizon

This is the 20th episode of Back Bay’s podcast, covering all facets of healthcare development and transactions. For questions, be in touch: www.bblsa.com
