Yash is 34 and has pancreatic cancer. When he found out, it was already at Stage 4.

@PopVaxIndia is developing a personalised cancer vaccine for Yash, and they're open sourcing his tumour sequencing data + their vaccine design.

Check out the repo here: https://t.co/WtgA7MH8E1

[Soham Sankaran @sohamsankaran]

We’re making a personalized cancer vaccine for Yash, a 34 year-old pancreatic cancer patient, in the open with his consent.

We want external experts to review our design and make their own contributions before we manufacture it at the RNA Foundry.

Americans are flying to Shanghai for a lung cancer pill that the FDA approved 15 months ago.

Max Doppelt did it for his mother. Her lung cancer had spread to her brain. The drug most likely to help her, sunvozertinib, had been sold in China since 2023 but was unavailable in the US. So he flew over and came home with 26 boxes. Nineteen months later, she is alive and still working. He says at least 30 Americans have made the same trip.

In the trial behind the US approval, the pill shrank tumors in 46 out of every 100 patients whose cancer had worsened after chemotherapy.

The holdup is business, not medicine. Dizal, the Shanghai company that makes it, had no US sales network, according to US oncologists in May. AstraZeneca licensed the drug in July for $600 million and says US sales will start this quarter.

An @FDA approval helps American patients only when a company actually sells the drug here.

🤯 is what happened to my brain in my early 20s when I learned it runs on biases.

Distortions of reality I can’t see, touch, taste or smell.

I thought I was a rational thinker. 😬

Crypto has already removed a lot of the waiting we previously accepted as normal in finance:

- Stablecoins move across borders on weekends and holidays.
- Tokenized stocks trade 24/7 globally.
- Decentralized exchanges perform real time settlement.
- Onchain lending lets people borrow without waiting for a loan officer.

We're making money move at the speed of information.

Lung cancer rates are rising, particularly in people who are not smokers. When my sister Susan was diagnosed in 2023, we were shocked. When I read the news about Pope Leo XIV, I was again shocked. I hope this is a wake-up call for the world that anyone can get lung cancer, regardless of their history with smoking. More people die of lung cancer than of breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined, and we need a new approach to screening and treatment.

In 12 weeks, we built a research facility that is run entirely by AI.

AI designs, executes, and observes experiments end-to-end across biology, chemistry, and materials science.

We’re introducing SciUniverse: a benchmark that measures AI’s ability to do real-world scientific research.
