This week's Biotech Scorecard:
Erasca $ERAS is the poor man's $RVMD (even tho $7B is far from impoverished) Can it be biotech's next big thing? Pan-Ras data next month, right in front of #ASCO26 abstract drop.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating the women of Maze whose ideas, leadership and dedication help move our science and mission forward every day.
We’re proud to foster a workplace where women are supported, empowered and able to thrive. Because when women rise, we all go further together.

BMD : osteoporosis :: proteinuria : CKD
Optimistic that #osteoporosis will be the next kidney disease (from a biotech perspective) in 5 years, with a rapidly evolving therapeutic arsenal coming soon
Clinicians treat osteopenia (which affects >40M in US alone!) today with monitoring, repeat DEXA scans, but woefully little intervention. Today's therapeutic arsenal is cheap drugs: anti-resorptive alendronate is <$10/month, like anti-hypertensives are in CKD...
But a change in what @US_FDA considers a valid surrogate endpoint (is BMD the new proteinuria?) could lead to a whirlwind of development activity as we saw in IgAN and other CKD subsets. New mechanisms, new modalities, perhaps more anabolics...

In recognition of #BlackHistoryMonth, we welcomed Maze patient advisory committee member and #APOL1 #kidneydisease warrior Sharron Rouse for a powerful discussion on how APOL1 advocacy groups can better support patients, highlighting the importance of education, community, and patient voices. Hope begins with awareness and strong advocacy can transform the patient journey by empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and paving the way for meaningful change. Learn more about Sharron's patient advocacy group @kkidneys here: kindnessforkidneys.org/

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has truly made it meaningful. This year was filled with important milestones, deeper partnerships with the patient community, and continued progress driven by science. We’re grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey and excited for what’s ahead in 2026!

Our president, head of research and development, and chief medical officer Harold Bernstein, M.D., Ph.D., recently shared the Maze story at the BioScience Forum, a monthly gathering for the biotech community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We appreciated the opportunity to connect with peers and discuss Maze’s mission and scientific approach, including how our Compass platform leverages variant functionalization to design #precisionmedicines that account for the genetic drivers of disease. biosf.org/

On #PKUAwarenessDay, Maze supports @NPKUA_info, PKU patients, and families. We honor the #phenylketonuria community and recognize the strength, resilience, and advocacy of individuals and families navigating this rare metabolic disorder. At Maze, we’re dedicated to advancing meaningful options for people living with PKU through our investigational program, MZE782, an oral, small-molecule targeting the solute transporter SLC6A19, designed with the potential to deliver a best-in-class therapy for individuals with PKU. Learn more about PKU and ways to support the community through @NPKUA_info here: npkua.org

Modern science workflows are changing quickly: enabled by new tools, datasets, and AI models capable of advanced reasoning.
The @ChanZuckerberg @czbiohub teams were among the earliest groups to recognize this. Since launching in 2015, they set an audacious goal: to contribute tools and infrastructure that could help scientists cure, prevent, or manage all human disease by the end of the century.
It was a tremendous pleasure to host Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg to discuss their vision for the future of @officialbiohub, how they are selecting their 10-15 yr "grand challenges", and why they think "virtual cells" could become a new kind of model organism for a wide range of biological research.
Thank you Priscilla and Mark for joining @et @bhorowitz and I for this energizing conversation! @a16z @a16zBioHealth
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg on Curing All Disease
We sat down with Dr. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, co-founders of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, to discuss their ambitious plan to cure, prevent, and manage all disease by the end of the century.
CZI’s Biohub aims to generate vast biological datasets to train new frontier AI models to guide scientists in the lab, creating a feedback loop to accelerate the pace of basic science and take us towards a world without disease.
00:00 Introduction
03:42 Building tools to accelerate scientific discovery
07:03 Biohub = Frontier Biology + Frontier AI
13:32 "Most diseases should be thought of as rare diseases”
15:39 Inspiration: building a periodic table for biology
19:27 Why virtual cells?
21:17 The Biohub master plan
33:36 The importance of interface design in democratizing scientific discovery
35:34 How Biohub encourages cross-functional collaboration
40:38 Looking ahead: the broader impact of AI on biotech

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan say virtual cells could change how science takes risk, letting researchers test bold ideas in simulation before entering the wet lab.
“The promise of being able to do virtual biology… is you can actually take on riskier ideas.”
“If you had a virtual cell model… you could actually then start testing it and tinkering on the computational side… and actually see if there is promise doing the experiments in silico before you make the time and money investment in the wet lab.”
