In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Ata Tuna Ciftlik CEO at Lunaphore.Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Ata, covering:
Bringing the next generation ‘satellite for tumours’ sequencing tools for immuno oncology and cancer research to drug discovery, and eventually the mainstream.
Why life science start-ups need data to survive and thrive. And key lessons of entrepreneurship, from theory to reality.
The avalanche effect - from a 2.5k competition fundraise to $50m in a market on-track to become $10b.
Unmissable leadership lessons from PhD-start up to global life science business.
