I’m sure all the US pharma VCs who are off-shoring biotech R&D programs to China care only about patient well-being, as they say
But just in case they are also thinking about how this might play out for them financially, let me describe the current situation
Pharma is the most unpopular industry in the US
news.gallup.com/poll/266060/…
US patients pay 70% of total worldwide profits for the pharma industry. Other countries are effectively free-riders

Anti-China sentiment in the US is at an all-time high
news.gallup.com/poll/1627/ch…
The current US administration is the most anti-China in history, believes the covid pandemic was engineered in a Chinese lab
whitehouse.gov/lab-leak-true…
And in this political climate, with the US public being this deeply set against you, in an industry that only exists because US politicians allow you to take profits that no other country on earth tolerates, you have chosen the year of our lord 2026 to ramp up your off-shoring efforts to China
My Brothers in Christ, the US biotech industry and all of your portfolios are hanging by a thread. Do not dare the American people to hate you even more

WATCH | @RepLaHood questions biotech leaders on how China is cornering the medicine market and what it means for patients and national security.
"China’s rapid advancements in biotechnology are challenging America’s leadership. We must ensure life-saving innovation starts and stays here in the U.S., for the sake of patients and national security."
Phil Strandwitz retweeted
WATCH | @StrandTx's Dr. Jacob Becraft warns, "a future where we hand control to China over the discovery, development and manufacturing of the medicines we rely on is truly not far away.”
The race for clinical data is the race for global leadership.

Re-reading some brilliant work by the Bohórquez lab @gutbrains
In terms of distressing phrases you sometimes have to use in science, it's hard to get more bang for your buck than "rabies enema"...but it's a genius experimental tool.

The secret to beating depression may lie in the microbiome...but that's a LOT of turf to cover: 100x the genes in the human genome, 1000x more diversity. We're teaming up with Microba, one of Australia's best sequencing firms, to solve the mystery:
