Behind Curious Compounds
At Curious Compounds, our mission is to connect cutting-edge science with real-world application. We’re independent, curious, and dedicated to fostering impactful conversations in biotech and pharma.
The podcast started with a simple idea: create a space where science and innovation collide. Hosted by Bruno and Maurice, the podcast was born out of a shared passion to bridge the gap between discovery and delivery.
In every episode, we connect start-ups and scale-ups developing groundbreaking therapies or technologies with service providers who help bring these ideas to market. By showcasing these collaborations, we aim to highlight the personal stories, challenges, and triumphs that drive scientific progress.
