📸 MassBio State of Possibilities reception.

The mothership…

Looking forward to having BiotechTV and Brad Loncar with us on Thursday to cover MassBio's #AlignSummit24 , our partnering event bringing together funders and early-stage companies to advance innovative science.

My first SFGiants game.

At one of the most amazing and scenic medical campuses in the world, OHSU.

Plus, an appearance by Sheff!

Check out this Brad Loncar BiotechTV interview with Chaitan Khosla, director of the Innovative Medicines Accelerator (IMA) Stanford Medicine, with a pipeline of drug dev programs available for partnering/licensing:

Humblebrag...I was awarded a certificate by my city today for saving a life through CPR. The truth is that I knew nothing and all credit goes to the 911 operator who explained it over the phone. A true hero. Take a CPR class. Simple chest compressions can make a big difference.

One of the pioneers of rare disease drug development on how he thinks about it today.

I love this Daphne Zohar quote in WSJ’s story on PIPEs because it articulates something I believe in strongly.

Which is that there are two standards you can have in business: 1) do whatever is legal 2) do what is right.

Align yourself with people who believe in the latter.

Kansas City sports history. Messi in KC.

Two recent BiotechTV deep dives with the leaders of companies that have been in the news this week. Worth your time, IMHO, if you are catching up:

Vera (IgAN): biotechtv.com/post/vera-ther…

Janux (T-cell engagers): biotechtv.com/post/janux-the…

Arrowhead Stadium 70K+ tickets sold for Messi/Inter Miami vs Sporting KC tomorrow. The town is going nuts. I’ll be there!

Today’s acquisition foretold by the I&I eclipse!

$VRTX enters into agreement to acquire Alpine Immune Sciences $ALPN for $65 per share or ~$4.9B in cash

This was a great piece. I love when people bring visuals to video. And credit to AliGorman for leveraging her reporting experience to add a new element to the video’s format.

Good luck, Daphne Zohar, on Seaport. Bonus points for a very cool name! ⚓️

Later this month, BiotechTV will be visiting London, Oxford, and Cambridge. If you are a local company that has news, or know of cool science that is happening in the area, reach out.

Beautiful San Francisco from the 34th floor of One Embarcadero.
