You Cannot Make Medicine Alone: Relationships & Mentoring w/ Imran Nasrullah

What goes into a bottle of new medicine is more than the proverbial 15 years and $2 billion. It takes great science, certainly, but it also takes 15 years of relationships.
No one can make medicine alone, not even Big Pharma. Collaboration, innovation, and industry relationships are key to bringing life-saving medicine to market.
In this episode, I interview Imran Nasrullah, Vice President & Head, Open Innovation Center North America - East at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, about strengthening relationships within the biotech ecosystem.
In this episode we discuss:

The importance of industry relationships in making medicine
How relationships mitigate the challenge of drug development
Mentoring options for small, innovative companies
Relying on partners to actualize different paths to commercialization
