363: What Vinay Prasad’s ouster means for biotech and the FDA
Manage episode 497599644 series 2118480
This week’s show is focused on a single topic — the ouster of Food and Drug Administration official Vinay Prasad from his job running the agency’s biologics division. This surprising development came after a series of controversial decisions he made on Sarepta’s gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and a barrage of political attacks from conservative voices.
We bring on Brian Skorney, senior research analyst at Baird, to talk about the implications for the biotech industry. We then have on Robert Califf, former FDA commissioner, and Ned Sharpless, former acting FDA commissioner, to discuss the implications for the agency.
