AUSTIN, Texas, May 7, 2025 – via IBN – IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The BioMedWire Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.
The BioMedWire Podcast delivers dynamic interviews with industry experts at the forefront of pharmaceutical and biotech advancement. The latest episode features Dr. Christopher Schaber, Chairman, President, and CEO of Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for rare diseases with high unmet medical needs.
During the interview, Schaber provided an introduction to Soligenix’s business model.
“I think what makes Soligenix unique is that we have two areas of focus. Our Specialized BioTherapeutics segment is focused on small molecules in oncology, and inflammation. Through a separate Public Health Solutions segment of our business that’s been funded entirely by the U.S. government – in excess of $60 million in non-dilutive funding over the years – we focus predominantly on heat-stable vaccines for emerging infectious diseases and biothreats. Through these segments, we’ve been able to build out a more robust pipeline than you would typically see for a company our size, with multiple ‘shots on goal’ to mitigate risk.”
Schaber next discussed how Soligenix is adapting to current uncertainties surrounding federal research funding and priorities.
“We focus on what we can control – our primary programs that we’re actively enrolling. We have three clinical studies, including one confirmatory Phase 3. We’re focusing our time, resources, and effort there, and if additional non-dilutive government funding comes that can support our public health business segment, then we will continue to advance that. In times like this, you need to focus in on those things that you can get across the finish line as quickly as possible.”
“Beyond the capital that we’ve raised to support the clinical studies we’re pursuing, we are always submitting government grant contracts to get additional funding. That remains a piece of our business that we really focus on. Another thing that we’re really focused on in the near term is business development opportunities and looking at all strategic options. As you would imagine with a late-stage pipeline like ours and active programs – especially a confirmatory study in a rare cancer – there is interest. We are in a number of discussions that could range anywhere from regional partnership to M&A.”
