Should it matter where a new medicine was first discovered? John Stanford examines how global biotech partnerships can support American drug development, and why restricting them may have consequences for patients. #Biotech #Innovation #Biotechnology @johnbstanford @MedicineMa80739 @incub8coalition @SMMT_TX

Can AI Really Deliver 100 Years of Biotech Progress in 10? #biotech #inn... youtu.be/nYYle-5Ng8Q?si=muic… via @YouTube “100 years of biotech in the next 10 years.” It's a powerful prediction about AI. Thomas Kaiser does the math, and argues that fulfilling it would require roughly 450–550 new drugs per year. Transformative technology? Absolutely. But extraordinary claims still need numbers behind them. #AI #Biotech #DrugDiscovery @johnbstanford @incub8coalition @FDA @NIH @DCVCBio @DCVC @AvicennaAi @MedicineMa80739

“Good Ideas Are Cheap”: The Reality of AI Drug Discovery #shorts #biotec... youtu.be/ngcdVgkjBWI?si=cTD2… via @YouTube “Good ideas are cheap. Durable ideas are the hard part.” That's Thomas Kaiser's reality check for AI in drug discovery. AI can dramatically expand what scientists can explore. But generating more ideas isn't the same as producing more successful medicines. #AIDrugDiscovery #Biotech #AI @incub8coalition @johnbstanford @FDA @NIH @AvicennaAi @DCVCBio @DCVC @MedicineMa80739
