We're only a day away from Breakthrough West, and given the upheaval in the world of science and medicine, I can't think of a better time to gather together. Here's two last minute additions to the agenda.
Researchers at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative have used generative AI to create a model of living cells that can help understand the perturbations caused by illness – think Covid, Alzheimer's or cancer. Katie Palmer, master of the live demo, will be our guide.
And Tara Bannow, STAT's award-winning hospitals and insurance reporter, will take a look at the Medicare Advantage program, which looks as if it might be a target for cuts under Trump. Rick Kronick, a former Obama official, is a top expert in how plans may pull in more taxpayer dollars by making their members appear sicker than they are.
Add those to Robert Califf, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Georges Benjamin, NEJM editor Eric Rubin, Aviv Regev, Reed Jobs and many more! Get a virtual pass, or one of the last tickets to attend in person! I'd love to see you there!
