We recently spoke to Lance Baldo, CEO of Beacon Therapeutics, during the Jefferies Healthcare Conference.
Beacon's Vista ph3 trial for laru-zova, their AAV Gene Therapy for X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa, has completed enrolment with topline expected in mid-2026.
Listen in to hear about Lance's career, from roles with Roche in both Switzerland & New Zealand to a return to the US with Genentech's ophthalmology division, and how he's drawn on those experiences in his role as CEO of Beacon.
We also cover Lance's experience as a first-time CEO, and his advice for other executives making that transition, on topics as broad as fundraising, regulatory discussions, and team building.
And of course, we cover the story behind Beacon & their mission to deliver a step-change for XLRP patients globally.
