How was a known friend of Jeffrey Epstein able to raise $100 million, with the help of a prominent biotech VC? And will Vinay Prasad return to the Food and Drug Administration for a "three-peat"?
Damian Garde joins Allison, Adam, and Elaine to discuss his article about Boris Nikolic, a well-connected biotech investor with deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein, who has raised a new biotech investment firm.
The hosts also talk about Prasad's second exit from the FDA and a congressman's probing of the agency's rare disease drug denials. And they recap Novo Nordisk and Hims' detente and Xenon Pharmaceuticals' promising seizure data.
