But Northeastern’s professor of pharmaceutical sciences and chemical engineering, Mansoor Amiji, was blunter, telling Newsweek: “Except for GLP-1 agonists by Eli Lilly and Novo, and other FDA-approved peptides, there are no preclinical or clinical studies showing safety and effectiveness of these ‘hyped’ peptides.”

“It’s got a lot riding on it,” said Steve Granelli, a teaching professor and division head of communication studies at Northeastern University. “Not just in terms of this being yet another ‘Spider-Man’ film, but also this being a huge storytelling device in the larger [Marvel franchise].”
