This month on Affected 🎙️ We sit down with Sabriya Stukes, PhD, microbiologist, educator, and investor at IndieBio, to discuss how early-stage biotech companies get built and the challenges they aim to solve. Chatting with Owen Beynon, Sabriya shares her perspective on how early-stage biotechs can tackle urgent global challenges and guide the future of science. An insightful episode for anyone interested in how biotechnology is evolving.

Our pathology expert Ted Tattum is in Zurich for the 90th Annual Congress of the Swiss Society of Pathology (SGPath/SSPath). As well as expanding on his pathological knowledge, he's around for coffee meet-ups or lunches until Friday evening and is keen to connect with pathology professionals!

Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are at the forefront of our #LifeSciencesAffectsUsAll newsletter this month. 🧬 As we approach the end of 2025, we’ve highlighted three FDA-approved CGTs from this year that will soon be casting transformative effects upon patients.  In April, Zevaskyn was approved for the treatment of a rare and debilitating dermatological disorder that causes extremely fragile skin. Developed by Abeona Therapeutics, the cell-based gene therapy involves taking a patient’s own skin cells and surgically applying them to treat wounds and sores. Encelto is another CGT approved in the first half of the year. This tiny, implantable device was developed by Neurotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and works to slow the progression of a rare, genetic eye condition that causes central vision loss for people in their 50s and 60s.  Papzimeos was the last CGT to gain approval in August. Designed by Precigen as a subcutaneous injection, this therapy will transform the lives of people with a chronic condition that causes benign tumors to grow in the larynx – reducing the need for frequently repeated surgeries.  To receive life sciences news and updates straight to your inbox, don’t forget to subscribe! 📨    #CellTherapy #GeneTherapy #LifeSciences #Groundbreaking  

Did you know that only 60% of life sciences professionals felt they had access to the same opportunities as their colleagues? We collected survey data from 25,000+ people in our community to understand their thoughts and lived experiences of gender inequality in the workplace. As well as this, over half of respondents (56%) felt that it's easier to advance in your career if you're a man. To read more about gender disparities and why there are so few women in top positions across life sciences organisations, access our latest report below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/euQ4txEP
