"No one's doing genetic disease research right now. I could call an academic after they publish and be the first company calling them."- Neil Kumar at #STATBreakthrough
That's not a complaint. That's an opening. Three potential FDA approvals on the horizon. A pipeline built on contrarian bets. This is what building an independent biotech looks like.

In the final session at #STATBreakthrough West, Holly Fernandez Lynch made a pitch that the FDA needs to provide more guidance to companies that are trying to develop drugs for patients with genetically rare diseases.
“I think it's a fabulous framework for the N of one and a few examples where you couldn't do a traditional prospective trial, but it shouldn't be used to reduce the standard of evidence that we otherwise would be able to produce.”
What’s the future of a doctor’s office visit? Dueling AI agents, says @KaiserPermanente’s Vincent X. Liu at #STATBreakthrough West.
The potential of in-utero gene therapy is immense, but it has always been “five years away,” says Tippi MacKenzie, one of the field’s pioneers, at #STATBreakthrough West. It also has unique challenges compared to other scientific fields.
Our Chief Clinical Experience Officer, Amit Phull, MD, took the stage at @statnews Breakthrough West on what separates meaningful clinical AI from the hype — accuracy matters, but physician trust is the real bar. #STATBreakthrough
Dave Kraus hates to relive the trauma that he and his family have experienced in trying to get his daughter the care she needs. But if it means more kids will have access to life-saving medications for ultra-rare diseases, it’s worth it, he says at #STATBreakthrough West.

.@23andMe founder @annewoj23 believes her company dataset will be a partner with every pharma company out there.

At #STATbreakthrough, Anne Wojcicki says that 23andMe didn’t need to be put into bankruptcy — “I made an offer” — and jokes about trying and struggling to try golf during her 23andMe hiatus.
Anne Wojicki (@annewoj23) has spent 20 years fighting for @23andMe and her vision. She almost lost the company, and it has re-emerged as a non-profit, purchased with her own money. We get to hear what has and hasn't changed in discussion with @matthewherper! #STATBreakthrough
The FDA wants companies to lean away from animal models, but @bettslacroix says that the technology is not yet advanced enough to entirely abandon them.
