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.
