We’re in Munich 🇩🇪 with a “true” biotech founder, Dominik Schumacher of Tubulis. Not many biotechs in Europe are led by a founder PhD under 40 and have scaled to raising over 100M. I know only two, one is Thomas at Owkin and the other one is Dominik at Tubulis. We talked about building a champion ADC biotech, the super hot ADC sphere, and the difference between luck and success. 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED - https://curie.bio/ - https://curie.bio - Tubulis Closes Upsized €128 Million Series B2 to Accelerate Clinical Development of Solid Tumor-Focused ADC Pipeline - https://tubulis.com/news/tubulis-closes-upsized-e128-million-series-b2-to-accelerate-clinical-development-of-solid-tumor-focused-adc-pipeline/ - BioSpace - Next wave of ADCs - https://www.biospace.com/article/the-next-wave-of-adcs-could-treat-evasive-solid-tumors-/ - BMS axes Eisai ADC pact 3 years after paying $650M for would-be Elahere rival - https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/bms-axes-eisai-adc-pact-3-years-after-paying-650m-would-be-elahere-rival - Merck’s ADC Pact With Daiichi Hits Regulatory Setback in FDA Rejection - https://www.biospace.com/article/merck-s-adc-pact-with-daiichi-hits-regulatory-setback-with-fda-rejection/ - ADC Space is too crowded? - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oA23bidvd2G-z2lnAkPLAMZgl1RXLtr9/view?usp=sharing - Genmab to Broaden and Strengthen Oncology Portfolio with Acquisition of ProfoundBio ($1.8B cash) - https://ir.genmab.com/news-releases/news-release-details/genmab-broaden-and-strengthen-oncology-portfolio-acquisition - BIO-Europe Spring 2019: Newcomer Tubulis tackles ADC technology shortcomings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwr5KMypBHs - Top 20 Healthcare Specialist Investors - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r4IwIKvuVUYQaqCZnpm4DtEYyy3LIT7h/view?usp=sharing 📜 TRANSCRIPT Read the full transcript here: https://flot.bio/episode/dominik-schumacher-tubulis/ 💸 DONATE We welcome donations from individuals and businesses to support our podcast and allow us to create even more content: https://www.paypal.me/PhilipHemme ⭐️ SPONSORSHIP Ready to amplify your brand to influential leaders in biotech and biopharma?
