Host Karen Tkaczyk speaks with Michael Young, Principal and Founder of biomedwoRx, for a rich discussion that blended personal history, professional insight, and a forward-looking take on the industry. Michael’s career spans over three decades in the life sciences, and his path reveals not only technical expertise but also a deep sense of mission.From First-Generation Roots to Global StrategyMichael describes himself as mission-driven, and that thread runs through his story. Raised in Ohio by immigrant parents, his mother a practicing OB-GYN and his father a structural engineer, he was encouraged toward professional excellence from the start. At Kenyon College, he pursued both English and biochemistry, setting the foundation for what would become his lifelong goal: communicating science in ways that improve patient outcomes.That dual focus on science and communication has shaped his work across patient advocacy, clinical development, and now his consultancy, biomedwoRx.00:00 - Welcome and Guest Introduction00:37 - biomedwoRx and the origin story prompt01:43 - Immigrant roots, assimilation, and voice03:13 - Dual major at Kenyon, mission to communicate science05:11 - Global launches, 22 NCEs, and AI platform work06:56 - Strategy across the product lifecycle and LOE planning09:29 - Cultural competence in practice, translation pitfalls16:18 - JEDI in clinical trials, diversity as better scienceAbout Life Sciences - In Focus Life Sciences - In Focus Podcast by Visatatec, a fascinating conversation with global life sciences experts.
