This week on the Lebenthal Report, Michael and Dominick welcome molecular biologist, biochemist, and author Tim Harris. Together, they discuss the promising future of gene therapy, the biotech industry's evolution, and the role of technology in driving innovation. They explore the origins of biotechnology, from early breakthroughs like the cloning of the insulin gene to the pivotal moments that shaped the industry. The conversation also covers recent market trends, the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and AI’s impact on drug development. Key topics include COVID vaccines, CRISPR technology, and the parallels between biotech’s early days and today’s AI landscape.

For more insights into the exciting world of biotech, be sure to grab a copy of Tim Harris' book "In Pursuit of Unicorns", which comes out tomorrow, September 17th!
