View in browser Log In    Breakthrough West SUMMIT NEWS | BREAKTHROUGH WEST The countdown is on — see you in SF? STAT Breakthrough Summit West is just two weeks away — and the agenda is packed with powerful discussions led by top voices across health and medicine. View the full agenda and see new session highlights below.   Science Under Siege Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association; Susan Desmond-Hellmann, board member at Pfizer and OpenAI; and Eric Rubin, editor-in-chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, join STAT's Matthew Herper to discuss the uncertain future of U.S. research as funding disappears, clinical trials pause, and scientists leave key agencies.   The Real Hurdle for AI Adoption: Liability Experts from UCSD Health, North Country HealthCare, and Stanford University join STAT's Brittany Trang to unpack one of the biggest—and least discussed—barriers to AI adoption in medicine: legal liability. While vendors push innovation, unresolved questions about responsibility continue to slow real-world implementation.   Join us May 14 in San Francisco — or experience the summit live online.
