Why are Genentech’s cancer researchers concerned about the direction of the company? What led Pfizer to pull its sickle cell drug off global markets? And what cake did Adam make for all his podcast colleagues except Elaine?

Our colleague Jonathan Wosen joins us to discuss the recent setbacks and wins in oncology R&D, including Genentech’s decision to shut down its cancer immunology group, and the global ambitions of Akeso, the Chinese biotech behind Summit Therapeutics’ recent positive results.
