"Time is tissue." That’s what one biotech exec told me after losing a clinical trial participant due to regulatory delays.
In a landmark 2025 announcement, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled a sweeping plan to streamline the FDA approval process for rare disease treatments—a move biotech insiders are calling "a long-overdue revolution."

In an age when gene and cell therapies are changing what’s possible, regulatory agility isn’t just a convenience—it’s a matter of life and death.
