Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BIO International Convention 2026: practical advice from former Evotec CEO Werner Lanthaler
Q: Werner, can you tell us a little about your career journey in biotech and how you ended up where you are today?
My path started in economics and psychology, then a pivotal shift into biotech during my time at McKinsey, which exposed me to manufacturing challenges and the potential of science-driven product development. This led to founding and growing Intercell, then Evotec, and eventually forming WLAN Holding to invest in and govern science-driven ventures.
De-risking neurology drug development with better mouse models
Q: Why is biomarker integration and disease staging important in preclinical models for neurology?
Biomarkers and staging help ensure that the animal models capture the same sequence of disease progression as humans, so the observed drug effects translate to meaningful clinical outcomes rather than isolated endpoints.
De-risking neurology drug development with better mouse models
Q: Brandy, what makes GemPharmatech's approach to mouse models uniquely translational for neurology?
GemPharmatech combines multiple human-relevant pathologies in their Alzheimer's and Parkinson's models, aligning pathology, biomarkers, and behavior with patient progression, and integrates end-to-end preclinical services to support researchers from model design through efficacy testing in a single, coordinated team.
World MS Day Special: Immunic reveals new hope for progressive MS
Q: What do the CALIPA and ENSURE trial results suggest for patients with progressive MS?
CALIPA showed a signal of disability improvement, suggesting the therapy may not only slow progression but also enable some patients to improve on the disability scale, which could change how we define treatment success in progressive MS.
World MS Day Special: Immunic reveals new hope for progressive MS
Q: Daniel, why did Immunic choose to pursue MU838 in MS, and what makes it different from existing therapies?
MU838 started as a safer DHODH inhibitor but revealed neuroprotective properties through NU1 activation, offering a potential dual benefit in both relapsing and progressive MS beyond traditional anti-inflammatory effects.
