UCLA scientists may have just revolutionized the future of hair loss treatment. In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking discovery of PP405, a small molecule that awakens dormant hair follicle stem cells — leading to full hair regrowth.Backed by promising early human trials, this innovation goes far beyond the limited results of traditional treatments. Discover how Professors William Lowry, Heather Christofk, and Michael Jung are reshaping the field of regenerative medicine — and how their spinout company, Pelage Pharmaceuticals, is racing toward FDA approval.🎙️ Powered by AI🔬 Based on verified science💡 For anyone curious about the future of hair restoration👉 Subscribe for more science-based podcast episodes driven by AI🔗 [Insert link to sources or article, if available]#HairLoss #UCLA #StemCells #HairRegrowth #Baldness #SciencePodcast #Biotech #PP405 #PelagePharmaceuticals

PhD Might Not Be Worth It?

With more PhD graduates now working outside of academia, it's worth asking: Is a doctorate always worth it?A 2023 UK study found that while PhD holders generally earn more per hour than master’s graduates, the difference isn’t universal. In fields like law, economics, and management, master’s degree holders actually earned slightly more.Even more interesting: when factoring in years of work experience, master’s graduates across all fields edged out PhDs in earnings.💡 This challenges the assumption that more education always means more pay, especially outside academia.What do you think? Is the PhD still worth it in today’s job market? Or is a master’s degree enough?🎧 Subscribe in now to remain updated: https://lnkd.in/eE9dteWySource: https://lnkd.in/dEZQiAkg hashtag#PhD hashtag#Podcast hashtag#HigherEducation hashtag#AcademicCareers hashtag#DoctoralTraining hashtag#CareerDevelopment hashtag#Education hashtag#Postgraduate hashtag#PhD hashtag#MastersDegree hashtag#WorkplaceTrends

In this episode of Biology Career Insights, we sit down with Patrick Bongartz, Co-Founder and CEO of BioThrust, a biotech startup revolutionizing cell culture processes with its patented bubble-free, low-shear bioreactor technology.Patrick takes us through his inspiring journey—from his academic foundation at RWTH Aachen University to founding BioThrust in 2020, and how he and his co-founders tackled key challenges in bioprocessing. We talk about the technical innovation behind their ComfyCell system, the evolution of cell and gene therapy, and what it means to build a startup in today’s complex biotech landscape.This candid conversation covers:Patrick’s academic and entrepreneurial backgroundThe story and mission behind BioThrustDeep dive into bioprocessing innovation: bubble-free aerationTrends in MSC, CAR-T, and HEK scale-upInsights from ISCT and ASGCT 2025 conferencesReflections on co-founder dynamics, fundraising, and navigating uncertainty in biotechAdvice for aspiring scientists and biotech entrepreneurs✨ A huge thanks to Patrick for generously sharing his story and insights!🔔 Subscribe for more conversations with biotech leaders: https://youtube.com/@bcipodcast
