In every episode, Jonathan goes beyond the science, diving deep into the personal and professional journeys of those striving to make these incredible new therapies more equitable and accessible globally. You'll discover how emerging technologies in molecular diagnostics, next-generation sequencing, genetic medicines (e.g., cell and gene therapies), and AI/ML are transforming treatment and bringing precision medicine closer to the forefront of healthcare. Whether you’re a researcher at a large pharma company or small biotech startup, a clinician at a major health system or community setting, a laboratory technician in the clinic or academia, an investor at a premier or venture capital firm, or just interested in the latest in medicine and healthcare, these interviews will inspire an…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T16:19:49.218663+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075"},"episode":{"title":"Michael Langer: Biotech Investing in the Data Age","slug":"michael-langer-biotech-investing-in-the-data-age","published_at":"2025-10-29T07:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075/michael-langer-biotech-investing-in-the-data-age","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/behind-the-breakthroughs-7055075","url":"https://shows.acast.com/behind-the-breakthroughs-by-inside-precision-medicine/episodes/michael-langer-biotech-investing-in-the-data-age","audio_url":"https://sphinx.acast.com/p/open/s/67105af848726944170ab1fe/e/69001bb9594b659111a8f9fb/media.mp3","summary":"If you work in biotech, the name Langer likely rings a bell. Robert Langer—the MIT legend behind Moderna and dozens of biotech startups—has become synonymous with innovation. Now, a new Langer is stepping forward. Michael Langer, Robert’s son, represents a new generation of investors rethinking biotech in the age of AI and data. Rather than chasing hype, he’s applying lessons from a lifetime around scientists to build a more disciplined, informed investment philosophy. As co-founder of T.Rx Capital, he’s helping shape the next phase of tech-enabled biotech—and exploring what truly drives success in precision medicine. Produced and hosted by Jonathan D.
