Listen "Life Science Innovation: Who Should Pay?"
Episode Synopsis
Sometimes called “living drugs,” Cell and Gene Therapies have the potential to cure an individual of a rare disease by modifying that person’s genes. But due to the labor-intensive, individualized treatment, these drugs are expensive, to the tune of millions of dollars per patient.

Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.); Michael Sherman, RA Capital Management venture partner; and Andrew Obenshain, biotech company Bluebird Bio CEO, discuss how to ensure continued innovation and access to gene and cell therapy without breaking the bank.
