The cancer Doc, driven by impact

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Tim Showalter, Radiation Oncologist, Founder and Chief Medical Officer at ArteraAI.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Tim, covering:

• The attraction of radiation oncology at med school and his fascination with clinical trials
• His frustration with tools for cervical cancer patients led to the creation of a medical device company
• How his bootstrapped side project ended in an exit… but why that was inspiring and motivational to move on to the next thing
• The proud experience of using his own product (BrachyGel) on cancer patients in the clinic, years after coming up with the idea
• How ArteraAI’s technology is positively disrupting the prostate cancer space, as well as its potential to scale and expand into other disease areas

Tim Showalter, MD, MPH, is a radiation oncologist and cancer researcher who serves as Chief Medical Officer at Artera, where he leads research and medical strategy. Artera is working to improve cancer care by developing AI-enabled prognostic and predictive tests. The ArteraAI Prostate Test is the first of its kind to be recommended by national clinical guidelines for routine use.
