Veteran biopharma scientist and innovator Dave Ecker's new podcast highlights the lives and research work of Ionis' rising stars

Io­n­is in­tro­duces young 'ris­ing star' sci­en­tists, shar­ing re­search projects and pas­sions on new pod­cast

A new gen­er­a­tion of sci­en­tists at Io­n­is Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals is speak­ing up — on a new pod­cast se­ries host­ed by vet­er­an bio­phar­ma sci­en­tist and biotech in­no­va­tor Dave Eck­er.

While Eck­er was a co-founder of Io­n­is, he left the com­pa­ny more than 10 years ago. When he re­joined as VP of strate­gic in­no­va­tion, he was en­cour­aged to see so many young, smart and en­thu­si­as­tic sci­en­tists at work. Then last year, as he was watch­ing them de­tail their re­search and drug dis­cov­ery in­no­va­tions dur­ing Io­n­is’ week­ly open sci­en­tif­ic pre­sen­ta­tions, he got the idea to cre­ate a pod­cast to in­tro­duce the “ris­ing star” and their re­search to the world.
