About this episode
The late Steve Jobs of Apple said “I think the biggest innovation of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology, a new era is beginning”.

If you want see how biotech can change the world of health, whilst potentially being capable of creating extraordinary value for investors, there are few better places to look than Amgen, one of the world’s leading independent biotech companies. With a market capitalisation of approximately $130bn, Amgen has been an extraordinary success story. 

In this conversation Bob discusses the big areas of medical need, from cardiovascular problems which continue to make it the world’s greatest killer, through to genetics, obesity, osteoporosis, and cancers. 

Bob discusses timelines and priorities, the use of AI in accelerating drug development, biologics, facing setbacks on the road to approvals, and the challenge of running a company which has a presence in over 100 countries.
