from BioCentury This Week · host BioCentury

The proposed $5.4 billion takeout of sickle cell company Global Blood Therapeutics by Pfizer is the latest sign of life in biotech M&A, BioCentury Associate Editor Paul Bonanos says on the BioCentury This Week podcast.

Plus: how schizophrenia data from Karuna makes the biotech ripe for a takeout; amyloidosis data from Alnylam; and why Amgen’s latest data for Lumakras suggest the future of one of the most promising KRAS inhibitor combinations is now in doubt.Reach us by sending a text
