In this month’s Funding Focus, host Carli Reyes unpacks the deals, policies, and investments shaping the future of biotech and drug discovery. From billion-dollar pharma bets to government-backed strategies, we explore how capital is accelerating science on a global scale.

What you'll hear:

  • Novo Nordisk’s $550M partnership with Replicate Bioscience to advance self-replicating RNA therapies.
  • The UK’s £1.12B industrial strategy to position Britain as Europe’s biotech hub by 2030.
  • Phenomic AI’s $20M Series A, fueling the convergence of imaging and AI in oncology drug discovery.
  • The bigger picture: how public and private funding are converging into a global biotech ecosystem.

We'll also share behind-the-scenes context and a look ahead at September — from the next wave of AI-biotech partnerships to new government R&D packages that could reshape where startups take root.
