Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, but probably not with the largest names and certainly not big bucks. Thursday, January 16, 2020 SAN FRANCISCO—Having worked on drugs like Zyprexa and Cymbalta over his 17 years at Eli Lilly, Steven Paul, M.D., left in 2010 to “do something a bit more entrepreneurial”—he founded a pair of central nervous system-focused biotech companies and stepped up to lead a third. Wednesday, January 15, 2020 SAN FRANCISCO—Concerto HealthAI unveiled a steady drum beat of announcements at this year’s J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, including a $150 million funding round and separate real-world data partnerships with Big Pharma companies. Wednesday, January 15, 2020 A team of Japanese researchers led by Astellas Pharma’s drug discovery unit engineered a piece of the vaccinia virus to carry two cytokines that stimulate anti-cancer responses from immune cells. When they injected it directly into tumors in mice, the cancers regressed. Combining the treatment with drugs that inhibit the immune checkpoints PD-1 and CTLA-4 was even more effective.
