This is the way
Introducing Omanta (YC S26) the personalized research lab for each patient.
Omanta integrates a patient's full medical record, personal genomics, and the latest scientific evidence to understand the molecular drivers of their disease. It maps existing and emerging therapies against their biology. And when the right treatment doesn't exist yet, it launches a personalized campaign to build it.
Even the hardest cases rarely have a team dedicated to solving them. Physicians make high-stakes calls with limited time, while data and therapies emerge every week. Science moves fast, but reaching the patient can take years.
That's the gap Omanta was built to close.
Founders Alfredo Gonzalez, PhD and Ranad Humeidi, PhD spent years on some of the most difficult cancer cases. Alfredo led the personalized therapeutic campaign behind Sid Sijbrandij's complete remission. Together they've worked with leading institutions on personalized vaccines, CAR-T, drug repurposing, expanded access, and continuous molecular monitoring. They've seen what becomes possible when the full force of modern science is organized around one person.
They met eight years ago doing early CRISPR cancer research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Alfredo Gonzalez (CEO) has a PhD in bioinformatics from UCLA and led research projects across the Broad Institute, UCLA, and Harvard. Ranad Humeidi (CSO) has a PhD in chemical biology from Harvard, and has built and run rare-cancer programs for individual patients when standard options ran out.

The next big thing is definitely BCI (brain computer interface). Especially with the rise of AI, BCI can decode the brain signals efficiently and enhance human capabilities.

I bet this is gonna go forever. I don’t see any reason why this should fail or break.
Livestream Day 4 has begun. We've been running F.03 humanoid robots 24/7 - fully autonomous, no breaks, and no downtime nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1AKEmOrBg…

This is inevitable and only the beginning. AI gets better with every release. The outperformance margin will be significant in 1 year. Honestly, this is better for patients who can get the best diagnosis possible.

The majority of people misunderstand AI advancements. They compare everything to current models; however, that's not the point. AI evolves exponentially and will absolutely replace many professions, maybe not today, but in the future. That's inevitable.

FDA is really transforming. I’m excited to see what other milestones they have.

🇵🇱 Polish streamer Piotr "Łatwogang" Garkowski has completed a record-breaking 9-day charity livestream, raising over 250 million złoty (approximately $70 million).
The funds were raised for the Cancer Fighters Foundation, a Polish nonprofit that supports children and adolescents fighting cancer.
Łatwogang emphasized that 100% of the donations go directly to patient treatments, with all expenses fully documented for complete transparency.
This is horrible. The beauty and weight loss industries are doing a lot of experiments on animals. This needs to stop.
Disturbing images have emerged showing how monkeys are being used to test the safety of new weight-loss drugs.
The unprecedented footage supplied to The Mail On Sunday was secretly filmed by a lab worker at two UK testing plants who said he was horrified about the 'immense distress' the animals endured.
Restrained long-tailed macaques have new anti-obesity medication fed into their stomach to help assess if it is fit for human use.
Beagles, pigs, rabbits, and other species also underwent 'extreme suffering' during trials for other new drugs before they can be sold in high street chemists, the worker said.
This includes not only potential treatments for serious diseases but many new products of everyday medicines such as headache tablets, cholesterol drugs, reflux medications, antihistamines, antibiotics, and antidepressants.
All the animals that survive the tests are killed at the end of the process and their bodies dissected for further studies.
The UK testing facilities he worked at are contracted by major pharmaceutical companies to conduct required safety tests on animals before they can progress to human clinical trials.
Both sites are Home Office regulated and operating completely within the law.
But the former lab worker said he wanted the footage and details of what happened to be released to ensure an informed public debate on the use of animal testing.
He described being 'haunted' by the shrieks and whimpers of animals during the trials, which could last for up to two years.

Like it or not, @realDonaldTrump makes decisions no other president would. FDA changes are transformative, and I hope for more decisions to accelerate delivering treatments to millions of patients. AI must be adapted and clinical trials reformed.

This is the model I was waiting for, but unfortunately it is only available to clinicians. We need this model to be available to the general population.
Today we’re introducing two big steps for health at OpenAI:
- ChatGPT for Clinicians, a free version of ChatGPT designed for clinical work
- HealthBench Professional, a new benchmark to evaluate real clinician chat tasks
We’re excited about what this can unlock for care. ❤️

China becoming a leader in AI health integration
🚨CHINA’S MEDICAL LLMs ARE NOW LIVE IN HOSPITALS.
there’s 42 LLM powered doctors and nurses across 21 specialties in a hospital in tsinghua. they ran around 10k+ simulated patients through it in just days and hit 93.06% accuracy on MedQA. this usually would take doctors years to process.
and this isn’t just a research paper btw. Hainan Boao opened China’s first fully AI native hospital recently along with DeepSeek medical LLMs already running in 260+ real hospitals across the china.
- while everyone else publishes benchmarks, China is treating actual patients with it. insane.
China seems to be aggressively pushing medical AI in real hospitals faster than most countries.

Summary from the conversations about this:
- People are jealous and don’t want anyone to get “free” money.
- For some people, working is the only thing that keeps them going crazy. They can’t do anything else, like spending more time with family, meditating, exercising, creating art, renovating, or building their own products.
- For some people, they just overuse the word “socialism” to get attention. They don’t even know what it means.
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
