Joel Marcus, founder and executive chairman of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, spoke at a church service in May 2026 as a representative of Baptist Missions, a network of churches in Ireland. He described the organization’s work as “proclaiming Christ and planting churches” and encouraged attendees to sign up for prayer news via a QR code. On earnings calls for Alexandria Real Estate Equities in 2025 and early 2026, Marcus discussed the state of the life science industry. He described 2025 as “the fifth year of a life science bear market” and noted challenges including a government shutdown impacting the FDA, high capital costs, and a lack of robust IPO and secondary offering markets. Marcus stated that the company intends to reduce its non-income producing assets from 20% to 10-15% and to decrease construction spend. He also expressed a belief that the industry has a “promising future,” citing that only 10% of diseases have been addressed, and characterized the life science sector as a “crown jewel” that the current administration is focused on preserving.
“the anti-industry ideologues of the last administration are gone. And the FTC is maybe the a simple example of that. The new administration is focused on cracking down on the middleman and PBMs, taking 40 to 60% of the economic value of therapeutics in the chain of value and adding very little. And so that's going to b...”
“I would say compared to the last administration it's like night the dark of night and the light of day. just FTC commissioner alone is one. We've also got I think Heli gave you some idea. I mean our industry is primarily governed by the FDA and I think you know both the nominee and the interim are both you know highly...”
“In 2025, we witnessed the fifth year of a life science bear market. Our 2025 timeline clearly evidences that no one could have predicted with the February 2025 nomination of HHS secretary, the intense cascade of events from February 2025 on to the numerous key departures toward year end at the FDA. And in fact sadly me...”
“We reiterated our guidance for 2026 FFO per share diluted as adjusted as well as the key components of guidance. And lastly, we reaffirmed our guidance for 2026 FFO per share diluted as adjusted as well as the key components of guidance.”
“If you look at the pie chart of our leasing for the year and the fourth quarter, you'll see in the fourth quarter a notable very small amount of leasing for public biotech. That's something that we're hoping turns around in 2026 because that's a critical mainstay of this industry and much of that has to do with the lac...”
“I think it's fair to say that the FDA commissioner has been active. He's out a lot. He's certainly trying to head in the right direction and do the right things given speed of approvals. Looking at trying to get products into the clinic much quicker than otherwise. Remember we talked about it at investor day. The thing...”
“I think if one believes in this industry you know 50 years after Janentech was founded this year uh back in uh 1976 uh again we've only addressed 10% of uh diseases 90% are left and if the um and if you know the public is willing to pay for therapies and uh you know addressable cures to the extent we can have that that...”
“We must preserve, protect and grow the strong and basic translational research. It is a critical bedrock of new discoveries and we must deal hopefully quickly with the current limitation on indirect overhead cost which is stying demand out of the institutional sector.”
“We intend to continue to decrease construction spend preserve capital and not create further supply. And then finally, let me make a couple of comments before I turn it over to Mark for an in-depth review of the quarter and pro and kind of factors impacting 2026.”
“One area of laser focus for us will be to continue to re reduce our current non-income producing assets on the balance sheet from the current 20% as we've diagrammed for you in the uh supplement and press release uh to about 10 to 15%.”
“The industry is now enduring a government shutdown and the impact to the FDA is uh pretty serious. This brings us to the third quarter, a critical juncture in time for this industry.”
“We must preserve, protect and grow the robust entrepreneurial ecosystem um with access to affordable cap capital. Cost of capital today is high for discovery research engines. Uh from the venture capital to the IPO to the M&A, we are in a uh in a in a continuing difficult environment.”
“We have pioneered the life science real estate sector. We are the first and only pure play life science REIT, and we have invented the complex principle of clustering for the life science industry. We own and operate the top quality portfolio in life science real estate, almost 40 million rentable square feet, with 25...”
