04.26.24 -- Strategies For Minimizing The Impact Of Bioburden And Sterility Testing On Gene Therapy Batch Yield

NEW PODCAST EPISODE

Physician + Biotech Builder with Tome Biosciences' Rahul Kakkar, M.D.

Novel technologies aren’t interesting to Rahul Kakkar, M.D. unless they help patients. Sounds rational, but it’s a unique perspective in a platform-crazed biotech industry. Dr. Kakkar’s worldview is shaped by his work as a physician — work he continues even as he builds Tome Biosciences, where he serves as President & CEO. On Business of Biotech, Dr. Kakkar shares how his work as a physician informs his leadership, biopharma’s bad rap, and a whole lot more.
