We wrote a letter to President Biden & Congress from hundreds of CEOs, investors & academics, urging them to solve affordability for patients through insurance reforms. We CAN save Americans money without destroying the ecosystem that creates new medicines nopatientleftbehind.docsend.com/view/a6bxibzxy… Join us

With rising out-of-pocket healthcare costs, the conversation around drug pricing is as important as ever; however, government dictation of pricing is not the answer. By disincentivizing investment in biotech, we stifle innovation. nopatientleftbehind.docsend.com/view/a6bxibzxy…

An important message from the innovators of the healthcare ecosystem, those creating the next generation of medicines. Calling attention for Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi and others in Congress to please avoid knee jerk reactions that will hurt innovation with no money saving benefit.

We are part of an amazing and important ecosystem that saves lives - and we are in jeopardy! All biotech CEO’s should join in signing this letter!

Laura Shawver And all employees! At this point, it’s not enough to get just a few hundred CEOs to speak. We are all citizens of this ecosystem, we are all patients, too, now or someday, and we must all lend our voice to this message to get Congress to realize these details matter!

It's a privilege to do this for a third year now with Bruce Levine, Ph.D. 🇺🇦. We catch up on the latest advances in cell therapy including armored CARs, in-vivo editing, cell Tx for non-oncology indications, and more. #ATW23

in-vivo CAR-T - will be transformational if works as advertised. (i.e., low cost of goods, no lymphodepletion, potential for outpatient administration) Lots of technical risk on the table remains so let’s not get too excited yet, but this is what moonshot science looks like.
