Hi, I’m Luke Timmerman, a biotech journalist.
I’m carrying my 80-pound training backpack, up and down the hills of Seattle, for a reason.
I’m training to climb Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world, in 2018.
Why do this?
Of course, I love the mountains.
But mostly, I’m doing it to support the top-notch research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. I’m doing it to support my hometown of Seattle. And I’m doing it to support science itself.
As a biotech journalist for 15 years, I’ve had the privilege to meet scientists around the country doing amazing work. I see a cancer revolution happening. Immunotherapies are emerging that harness the power of the immune system to attack cancer cells much like the viruses and bacteria that we fight off every day. Fast DNA sequencers and other sensitive instruments are making it possible to detect cancer earlier than ever before, when it’s most easily treated.
Fred Hutch is at the leading edge of cancer cures. Their pioneering research is helping people with many types of cancer live longer, and lead better lives. We’re seeing just the beginning of what is possible.
We can’t let up — especially during this time of so much thrilling progress.
So I ask you to please give generously to this important cause at a crucial moment in time.
Let’s take this all the way. Donate to the Climb to Fight Cancer at Fred Hutch, and you’ll help scientists push to the top of the mountain – the cure.

Podcast listeners, check it out: Today, I’m starting a new podcast for biotech adventurers like you – executives, investors, scientists.
It’s called The Long Run. Here’s the gist:
Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, if he were alive, would appreciate biotech. Today’s scientific entrepreneurs must be ready for the “hazardous journey, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.” Today, the men and women who strive to apply science for the betterment of human health have a historic opportunity. They need stamina, and resilience, to achieve something meaningful. Biotech’s relationship with the society that sustains it has never been more tenuous.
This show will provide a forum for thoughtful conversations with biotech leaders, typically between 45-60 minutes, airing every other week.
John Maraganore, CEO, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals.
The debut episode (click here) features John Maraganore, the CEO of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and the chairman of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization. We covered some of Alnylam’s 15-year history, making the transition to a commercial enterprise on the cusp of long-awaited Phase III clinical trial data, and the industry’s ongoing problem with drug pricing.
LISTEN
Like all podcasts, this show is being made free to all listeners – no TR subscription necessary. As an independent production of Timmerman Report, it will be available here first.
The next episode of The Long Run will feature Katrine Bosley, CEO of Editas Medicine, a drugmaker based on CRISPR-based genome editing technology. In Ep. 3, hear Regeneron Pharmaceuticals chief scientist George Yancopoulos talk passionately about creating a scientific culture that is so productive at creating new medicines that it doesn’t need to resort to price-gouging stunts. Expect a wide range of fascinating people and topics to come over time.
Thanks go out to my excellent collaborators. Pedro Rosado of Headstepper Media was the editor and producer. Music comes from D.A. Wallach. Todd Bennings created the logo. Steve White developed the landing page on TimmermanReport.com.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in sponsoring The Long Run, let’s talk. This will represent a rare opportunity for one, maybe two, sponsors to deeply engage with biotech leaders who will be listening. Email: luke@timmermanreport.com
