Our October issue is out now and we're talking about bioremediation, the FDA’s approval of the first T cell therapy for solid tumors, and a new course from CHOP focused on the basics of academic entrepreneurship (which I will be attending next week!) https://t.co/s9mxeOz1Yc

NBT's October issue will be online soon, but you can read this month's editorial a few days early. This month, I'm writing about about how biotech can benefit from new platforms and initiatives around using real-world health data for clinical trials: https://t.co/qIc79yP2iI
