Episode Details

How has the National Institutes of Health been spending its budget? Why are biotech investors feeling gloomy? And what is the most quintessential Boston movie?

We discuss all that and more on this week’s episode of “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. We bring on STAT reporter Anil Oza and Heather Pierce, senior director of science policy at the Association of American Medical Colleges, to discuss the how the NIH distributed its money in the latest funding cycle and the effects on U.S. biomedical research.

We also chat about the shuttering of a CRISPR CAR-T biotech, the Nobel Prize in medicine, and biotech investors’ current mood.
