🎙️ Podcast: Phase III is an excellent new science podcast, and we’re delighted that Brandon Portfolio company Certa Therapeutics CEO Professor Darren Kelly was invited to join their inaugural series on chronic kidney disease. 🎧 Listen to Darren with his futurist hat on, chatting with Rachel Williamson in a free-ranging conversation that covered what's next and why therapies targeting GPR68 will play an important role in reducing fibrosis and inflammation in end organs such as the kidneys. 🔵Certa identified GRP68 as a master regulator of fibrosis. 🔵Molecular signature mapping identifies pathways changed by inflammation and fibrosis. 🔵How FT-011 blocks or modulates these pathways in the right direction to reduce inflammation and fibrosis. Certa’s pioneering research and results to date are exceptional, and we’re very excited about their upcoming Phase II clinical trials for Scleroderma and Chronic Kidney Disease. PS It’s wonderful to have a local science podcast covering what’s happening in the local sector, so please support by subscribing! #Biotech #ChronicKidneyDisease #Innovation #Fibrosis #KidneyHealth #LifeSciences #BrandonCapital https://lnkd.in/eR2DkamB

We were thrilled to have Leighton Read in the spotlight at Tuesday's event: What's next for biotech? Current insights from four decades in Silicon Valley biotech investing - with Leighton Read MD. Along with our event partners RSM Australia and Brandon Capital, we welcomed stakeholders from across WA's MTP sector as well as interstate guests from the Brandon Capital Investment Review Committee. As a medical trained doctor and investor with decades of experience, Leighton shared valuable insights about Venture Capital: ⭐When you have your first meeting with a VC, your aim is not to immediately be invested in - the aim is to get another meeting ⭐Be likeable, and make it easy to find out if you're a good investment ⭐The weighting between investing in the tech or investing in the people goes towards people - you can pivot the tech or your market if you have a smart team ⭐Network, network, network! We also talked about AI and its impact on innovation development and VC: ⭐The impact of AI will be felt across all stages of developing medical innovations, and most so in the early stages of the commercialisation process ⭐It's going to be most disruptive for those who don't want to think about it - dip your toes in! ⭐AI will become a part of the way that investors make their decisions Want to keep the great conversations going about AI? Save the date for our next WA MTP Sector Spotlight ‘AI in Health: what can we do now’ on Thursday September 19 at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research (North) 5-7:30pm.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽To all the panellists at the annual #bioconnections conference today and was great to see our Senior Investment Manager, Ingmar Wahlqvist, contributing to the Investor panel. Thanks to Sarah Meibusch for an excellent summary of the panel themes 👇🏽
Partner, OneVentures | life science investment | global executional experience | entrepreneurial passion | Non Executive Director
Investor panel at the 7th Annual Bio Connections conference was a lot of fun this morning. Thank you to the wise insight from my fellow panelists Ingmar Wahlqvist from Brandon Capital, Ben Constable from Lumira Ventures, John Kurek from Uniseed, and Emerald Scofield. Great moderating Kathy Nielsen - plenty of diversity of thought but a few things we all did seem to agree on: 🚀 The quality of science in Australia is outstanding and there are more opportunities to invest than there has ever been before 💰 There is more capital available in Australia than ever before but it is still limited for later stage follow on financing. Connections with the international markets and VCs is a key ingredient. 💹 The markets might be constrained but good science and quality teams are getting financed. Hard to be on Zoom when everyone else is in the room. I sensed from the questions that there was a lot of great vibes in the room. #TeamAustralia - let's make it happen!
