Commentary on Pharma & Biotech Oncology / Hematology New Product Development

Earlier this year, I announced that there were two people I was hoping to interview next as part of the ongoing Making a Difference series, where thought leaders share their ideas and vision on emerging and important topics in cancer research. Previous discussants have included the following:

Today, I am delighted to announce that one of those identified thought leaders, Gordon Mills (MD Anderson), kindly agreed to be filmed while at last week’s ECCO (European Multidisciplinary Cancer Conference). Dr Mills is Chairman of the Department of Systems Biology, Chief of the Section of Molecular Therapeutics, Professor of Medicine and Immunology, and Anne Rife Cox Chair in Gynecology. He is also one of the best strategic thinkers I’ve come across in cancer research who not only understands the big picture, but also the detailed subtleties.

Originally, we collected audio-visual to ensure an accurate recording for the usual transcript that gets posted here on the blog, but it came out well and the subject was so compelling that we deemed it well worth watching as the first thought leader video interview here on Pharma Strategy Blog.

Dr Mills gave one of the three keynotes in the first Presidential Symposium at the Stockholm meeting, along with Drs José Baselga (MGH) and Tak Mak (U. Toronto) in a fascinating session on Personalized Medicine. This session covered the whole gamut from therapeutics, biomarkers, assays and to metabolism. I took the liberty to include a couple of Dr Mill’s slides to illustrate the points we were discussing in the video below.

We’ve come a long way over the last decade in terms of progress, but hopefully, as technology and our knowledge improve further, the best is yet to come.

This is the fifth interview in the series with thought leaders in the Making a Difference series – it covers a wide range of critical topics including BRAF, mTOR, PI3K, EGFR and RAS – please do check it out:
