The biotech and biopharma industry has struggled in recent years with a lack of investment. While GlobalData has tracked an uptick in investment into companies, this is mostly in earlier-stage biotech and biopharma, meaning those who were already struggling continue to battle with low funds.

At the same time, government-led funding schemes are being reduced or scrapped, further impeding these companies’ access to finance to run research.

GlobalData is the parent company of the Clinical Trials Arena.

In this podcast episode, the Clinical Trials Arena spoke to Ali Pashazadeh, CEO of Treehill Partners and Michelle Hoffmann, executive director of the Chicago Biomedical Consortium, who explain the potential impact these funding cuts could have on biotech and biopharma companies ability to run clinical trials.
