This Week Sep 16, 2022 Fierce Biotech’s honorees for the 2022 Fierce 15 have scientific roots that run deep—from seeking cures for incurable diseases to tapping the latest AI tech to discover better drugs faster. This year’s class also focuses more than ever before on diversity in management and geography across the biotech world. Read the full special report here. When Bristol Myers Squibb bought Celgene in 2019 for $74 billion, it opted to keep the dermatology and immunology drug deucravacitinib, and it doesn’t regret the move in the slightest.

The FDA has found new clusters of specific types of cancer linked to the scar tissue that forms around breast implants, as part of the agency’s yearslong review of the risks that can come with the procedure.

The results, published Monday in Frontiers of Pharmacology, indicate four possible meds: anti-diarrheal loperamide, dopamine D2 receptor agonist bromocriptine, the female hormone progesterone and the progestin birth control pill drospirenone.
