What happens when a world-class biologist decides that academic research isn't moving fast enough for patients?
In this episode of Decoded, Dr. Jurgi Camblong speaks with Dr. Keith Flaherty, a physician-scientist who bridges the gap between academia, biotech, and pharma to bring smarter therapies to patients, faster.
Fascinated by the "wiring of cells," Keith followed his intuition during the cell biology boom of the early 90s, eventually finding his focus in oncology. Today, he is rewriting the rules of drug development. He didn't stop at academia; he felt the need to found companies like Loxo Oncology and Scorpion Therapeutics to execute faster.
