On this week's episode, Milan Kalawadia, CEO, North America, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, and Arun Swaminathan, Ph.D., CEO, Coya Therapeutics discuss their unique partnership to develop COYA 302, a novel dual-mechanism immunotherapy for the treatment of ALS. The partnership pairs Coya's scientific expertise with Dr. Reddy's manufacturing and commercialization capabilities, putting Coya in a financial position to advance development activities and commercialize COYA 302 upon FDA approval, and providing Dr. Reddy's -- a generics, biosimilars, API, and OTC manufacturer -- with an opportunity to pivot into innovative branded products. Kalawadia and Swaminathan discuss their pathways to the CEO role at each company, respectively, how the partnership came together, ongoing FDA engagement, and what COYA 302 could mean for patients with ALS.
