This week, we discuss a novel AI-driven approach to drug development, and its potential to transform the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

We are joined by Yanay Ofran, chief executive and founder of Israel-based Biolojic Design, a company that is working on programmable antibodies.

Biolojic's platform has already yielded a first-of-its-kind computationally designed antibody, now in Phase II trials, as well as a pipeline aimed at autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

The firm has also forged collaborations with major players in the industry, including fellow Israeli firm Teva (NYSE: TEVA), as well as Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Germany’s Merck KGaA (MRK: DE).

What in the Health? Rina Helt and Fateha Zannath Welcome to What in the Health? (also known as WitH The Podcast)! We are a digital platform that helps young adults make informed health choices by combining credible health information with expert opinions at Johns Hopkins University. Recognizing that the abundance of public health research and its intersections can be daunting, we wanted to create a podcast and social media platform that condenses everything you need to know in under an hour. Why under an hour? Because we know that our audience leads busy lives, and sometimes, just knowing the basics about topics, such as COVID-19, skincare, or even Big Pharma, is enough to spark one’s curiosity to explore more. As a student-led initiative, our goal is to help you recognize trends, misconceptions, resources, and information to take control of your health. Between regular podcast episodes, interviews, informative social media posts, and much more, we invite you to join a community that empowers your experiences with public health.
