The Future Of Life Sciences

Aasmah Mir· Host0:00

[intro music] Hello, I'm Asma Mir. I'm a journalist and broadcaster, and I've spent over twenty-five years unpicking some of the most important and complex news stories of our time. Now, as humans, we look to the past to try to understand the world around us, often discovering that with hindsight, we might have done some things differently. So how do we harness that knowledge to help us in the future? I want to introduce you to the first episode of The Future Of, the new podcast from global law firm DLA Piper. In this series, we'll be exploring some of the sectors that power our world, life sciences, financial services, energy and natural resources, and technology, to understand what we need in place to face the future head-on. Because industries continue to evolve, undergoing many iterations and chain reactions, and years later, we're often still wrestling with what role they should be allowed to play in society, realizing the safeguards that should've been considered from the start. So in The Future Of, we are asking the key questions of today to try and future-proof our decision-making tomorrow. In our first episode, we're looking at the life sciences, a sector under enormous pressure, both in global markets and on the political stage. So to get into all of that, I'm joined by Stefano Marino, senior consultant
