(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.

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

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
