Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reengineering Chemotherapy for Solid Tumors...Lew Bender, Founder, President & CEO, Intensity Therapeutics
Q: So, Lew, why aren't the metastatic cancer numbers coming down?
Because systemic dosing based on height and weight often fails to match the tumor burden, heterogeneity, and distribution needed for effective therapy, leading to ongoing cancer deaths despite new treatments.
From Film to Biotech...Toshi Iida, Chairman, FUJIFILM Biotechnologies
Q: How do you manage the complexity of multi-country trials and ensure consistency across all sites?
By implementing a unified platform (Kojo-X) that connects sites worldwide, sharing data in real time, and maintaining consistent quality and regulatory compliance across the network.
From Film to Biotech...Toshi Iida, Chairman, FUJIFILM Biotechnologies
Q: You're investing heavily in North Carolina to establish a new biopharmaceutical manufacturing site. How does that fit into FUJIFILM Biotechnologies' broader strategy?
The North Carolina facility is part of a global Kojo-X ecosystem designed to harmonize manufacturing across sites, scale up biologics safely, and enable end-to-end delivery for clients from development to commercialization.
A New Path Forward for Cell Therapy...Jeff Liter, Founder & CEO, Luminary Therapeutics
Q: What are the anticipated clinical implications beyond cancer?
The team anticipates strong potential in autoimmune diseases and other chronic conditions, with early results suggesting high cure rates, which could broaden indications beyond oncology.
A New Path Forward for Cell Therapy...Jeff Liter, Founder & CEO, Luminary Therapeutics
Q: Why is accessibility such a central goal for Luminary?
Because using patient-derived cells is expensive and logistically complex, Luminary aims to provide ready-to-use therapies that can be stored and delivered on demand at any hospital, dramatically expanding the patient population that can be treated.
