In this 3,335 word interview exclusively for the Wall Street Transcript, Dr. Selvaraju develops his reasons for current optimism for his top picks in the gene therapy and biotech sector:
“In hindsight, studies were launched without the benefit of a significant underlying understanding of diseases and their pathophysiology. Today, we not only have biotechnology companies that are much more data-driven and that are able to make sense of in-depth data, whether it is genomic or proteomic in nature, but we also have a much more savvy investor base.
The H.C. Wainwright analyst sees a clear advantage to investing in these data driven stocks:
“…We are now entering the third stage of evolution of biotech companies. You are looking at firms that have a few hundred employees, but they are still able to generate tens of billions or at least up to $10 billion or $5 billion in topline annual revenue. These companies have significantly greater profitability per employee.”
