Developing viral immunotherapies and combo regimens needs deep translational know-how, plus years of preclinical and clinical learning. New biotech firms without that stack face slow iteration and costly mistakes, while incumbents with prior trial data and specialist teams keep the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePartnership networks are hard to build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOncolytics Biotech Inc. benefits from years of relationship-building with pharma partners, investigators, and trial sites, and that trust is hard to copy fast.
