(1/2) A very exciting milestone for @VolastraTx and the field of #Chromosomal_Instability. Early escalation data for our KIF18A inhibitor, VLS-1488, show excellent safety and promising efficacy in heavily pre-treated ovarian cancer patients.

USA needs regulatory reform faster, especially decentralized IRB approval of first-in-man trials. That is how China will win, if we do not correct this glaring, self-imposed bureaucratic error.
Wake up call from CEO of Pfizer on China’s increasing dominance in pharma innovation “They [China] filed more (drug) patents this year than the U.S.,” Bourla said. “That’s never happened in history. Five years ago, the split was 90%-10%. ... The gap is closing, but they

Thanks so much for hosting me I had a great visit and getting to know about the exciting science taking place at the CNIO
"A healthy cell divides into two daughter cells with identical number of chromosomes. But tumor cells can have a 'daughter' with 200 chromosomes and another with 50, or 75. We study how this #Chromosomal_Instability affects cancer" explained @Samuel_Bakhoum at his #cnioseminar 👇

Provider Taxes: The Most Elegant Grift in American Healthcare It’s not a tax. It’s a laundering operation. Here’s how it works: 1. A health system “voluntarily” agrees to a provider tax because it loves paying taxes. 2. The state uses that “tax” to inflate Medicaid spending

This will grab headlines but they used the ChatGPT 4 model which is for basic reasoning, which I would not consider tumor board to fit this. The o3 model actually reasons and would be at least a fighting chance. I have put it to the test with very complex scenarios with

The U.S. doesn’t just spend more on healthcare — it drowns in its own bureaucracy. And much of that burden? Created and enforced by government regulation. Compared to other developed countries, the U.S. system is structurally unique — and not in a good way. 🔹 Government-Driven
