@CottageTactico Totally unclear. That’s the hope we can cling to. And maybe this won’t prove out positively for us in 2026/7. It may take time to get the right players to have success. The worst fear is that the ambition is to audition young talent in a high end system just to profit from them
@CottageTactico I’m as excited as any #FFC supporter about this project. At the same time, how many times have we seen a successful “system” implemented at a club and have success without the right talent? How many + examples can you name? I guess that’s why we’re so focused on who they bring in
We're honored to share that Beam has been named a TIME100 Most Influential Company! @TIME recognized 100 companies charting an essential path forward & we're thrilled to have our work celebrated as we strive to break new ground to support patients suffering from serious diseases.
Rob Thomson is a good man who had a good run as Phillies manager.
This is the most bummed I have been about a manager change since Charlie Manuel left with the Wawa bag. Since Charlie, Topper had the best run here.
Today, Beam announced updated safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of BEAM-302 in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and the selection of 60 mg as the optimal biological dose to advance into pivotal development to support potential accelerated approval.
Excited to share our updated BEAM-302 data!
This is now a robust, industry-leading data set with over 29 total patients treated.
