We’re at BIO-Europe in Stockholm 🇸🇪 with Gunilla Osswalld, the CEO of BioArctic, the inventor of one of the only drugs that have worked for Alzheimer's.

We talked about the science and business behind Leqembi. We also talked about the Alzheimer’s field at large and transitioning from big pharma to biotech.

⭐️ ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Gunilla joined BioArctic in 2013 after many successful years in executive positions at Astra/AstraZeneca, including Vice President for the product portfolio of neurodegenerative diseases. Since joining BioArctic, the largest Swedish biotech, Leqembi, one of the only successful drugs for Alzheimer’s was approved. This was an invention of BioArctic that Eisai and Biogen have commercialized. This is a particularly impressive feat considering 98% of Alzheimer’s drugs fail.
