There's a scientific breakthrough in your medicine cabinet. But how did it get there?
At a time when medicines are helping us all live longer and healthier lives, this podcast will explore where these taken-for-granted miracles come from, how many of them almost never happened, where the life science ecosystem is taking us next, and most importantly, what it means for patients.
From chance meetings that led to new ideas, to risky investments that never pay off, hear from the people behind today's and tomorrow's treatments, vaccines, technologies, devices, and yes, cures.
In this golden age of health discovery and innovation fueled by record breaking investment in the life sciences, we'll bring guests who really understand what it means to be Making Medicine.

FDA Shake-Ups & mRNA Funding Cuts | Industry Perspectives with Patrick Jordan
In this episode, John Stanford dives into the latest policy and science headlines - from Dr. Vinay Prasad’s dramatic exit and return to the FDA, to HHS’s $500M cut in mRNA research, to looming pharmaceutical tariffs. Then, we debut our new "Industry Perspectives" segment with NovaQuest Capital’s Patrick Jordan, exploring how regulatory uncertainty, populist pricing policies, and global market dynamics impact biotech innovation.
What do you think about HHS’s decision to pull back on mRNA research? Could foreign reference pricing harm small biotech companies more than big pharma? And how should the FDA navigate leadership instability to keep innovation on track?
