About the show

Dose of Discovery is BioXconomy's monthly science podcast about the ideas, research, and people shaping modern biomedicine. Hosts AJ and Søren bring their scientific training to make sense of biomedical discovery for listeners. The show brings thoughtful, accessible conversations to subjects that often feel closed off or over-complicated. Each month, they sit down with leading scientists to explore research shaping oligo therapeutics, mRNA technology, and advanced therapies, and more, tracing how those ideas move from research toward real-world impact. For biotech professionals, researchers, and curious listeners, Dose of Discovery offers smart, grounded science conversation with a warm over-coffee feel. Be sure to check out BioXconomy for more deep-dive conversations about the latest in biomedical research. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
