Today was my last day as a VC in a biotech fund. Learned a ton and very grateful for the experience. I was there in the gloomy 2022 when BD and liquidity was terrible and the booming 2023 with many strong exits. Now heading to a large pharma role, a dream of mine. God Bless!

Pharma's licensing trends reveal evolving interests. From 2008-2012 to 2022-2024, a shift is evident - AI, ADCs, RNA, radiopharma, and cell therapy are on the rise, while small molecules and peptides decline. Noteworthy is the relative decrease in interest in antibodies.
