Toast 'Em
First things first. We discovered a company working on small molecules for oncology who named themselves SciBrunch and it about set us off.
SciBrunch? Really?
What an astonishingly bad one. Named after a meal!
Maybe next time someone will name their company after an emotion.
Perhaps we will soon be graced with a presence of BioSadness, which incidentally was also the summary of BioPharmGuy's last conference experience.
Long Time Not Seen
Two years ago, there was a conference so amazing, Interplay Bio was counting down the days.
That countdown expired October 28, 2024, but it's still the top news for the company, leaving us to ask what the hell happened on Halloween 2024 in Boston??
Optical Pipeline
The most common theme of drug company pipeline pages is a list of potential products with arrows or lines stretching distances that match clinical trial stages. The longer the line, the further along.
This is exceptionally easy to follow which is probably why some companies just have to get cute.
And cute is one thing.
Ringing an eyeball with your products is just weird.
Insera Therapeutics
Insera's website is copyright 2012, which is generally a sign a company is defunct, and their zombie website was forgotten by an old webhost.
Yet defying this logic, Insera is very much an active company. In fact, this week they announced one of their devices had been cleared by FDA.
Can't always judge a biotech company by its website. Or a biotech data provider.
Suddenly Sober
Big pharma has massively helped people on their weight loss journeys. Now it's time to sober these people up, if Goa Therapeutics' plan is achieved.
The sober pill is not exactly what you might think. It's more of a convenience for people who want to remove the effects of alcohol, not for people who want to avoid drinking. (GLPs are helping with that anyways)
This is one of those things that sounds like a good idea until you consider it would make every moment a drinkable moment instead of the times with no responsibility.
If you could sober up quickly, what's keeping you from getting toasty before surgery? Pop the pill 20 minutes before, scrub in and you're good to go just as the scalpel hits flesh!
Goa is located in that scientific hotbed of West Palm Beach, FL so you know it is definitely a promising idea.
Though, it is a little strange for a drug company, who is at best years away from product approval, to have a VP of Marketing on staff. And wouldn't you know, they had already filed for an IPO prior to announcing their existence to the world.
But of course this isn’t another Florida grift. No way!
