Introducing Fierce Biotech’s 2023 Fierce 15 – FOG and RayzeBio

It’s been a tough year for biotech, so how about a little good news? In between all the layoffs, restructurings and last-ditch strategic option hunting, we wanted to take a moment to shine a spotlight on 15 innovative and truly fierce biotechs.

Everyone we talk to in the Fierce Biotech universe tells us that science doesn’t stop for the markets. Financing might be a little tough right now, but innovation, breakthroughs and discoveries are all still being made. 

The latest crop of Fierce 15 honorees consists of companies pushing the envelope not only in the lab, in the clinic or on the conference circuit—they are also defining what it means to be a modern biotech company, with modalities ranging from radiopharmaceuticals to cell therapy. Indications as diverse as oncology, neurodegenerative disorders, Pompe disease and even pregnancy complications made the list this year.
