His research and teaching activities aim to improve the discovery and development of new medicines by identifying optimal organisational structures and processes for data-driven, capital efficient, and objective decision-making. His research has been invited for presentation in numerous academic conferences, has won multiple awards, and has been published in the flagship journals of the field. In addition to his academic work, Nektarios has worked closely on research projects with numerous executives from the biopharmaceutical industry, both in large pharmaceutical organisations and small biotech companies.

We highlight how academic research, venture capital, capital markets, and pharmaceutical companies have collaborated to foster an environment in which entrepreneurial biotech ventures created novel medicines with remarkable efficiency. We will also showcase how specific companies, from biotech startups to venture capital investors, achieve excellence in decision-making. Finally, we will discuss emerging trends in the global biotech landscape, focusing on the growing impact of AI and the significance of East-West partnerships.
