Ep. 183 - EMA's Cooke, What's Next for IPSCs, & Leerink is Back

Emer Cooke may have already cemented her legacy as executive director of EMA through her leadership of the European regulator during the COVID-19 crisis. But she still faces a big task in navigating the agency through Europe’s new pharma legislation, said Washington Editor Steve Usdin on the latest BioCentury This Week podcast. Usdin and colleagues discuss a wide-ranging fireside chat held last week in Amsterdam with Cooke, including how the agency adapted post-Brexit and the differences that need to be appreciated between the European and U.S. regulators.BioCentury’s editors also discuss the future of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in cell therapies, a conversation with Forbion’s Wouter Joustra, a management buyout of SVB Securities, and why Senate Democrats are holding back on confirming a new NIH director.Reach us by sending a text
