Friend,
While there has been tremendous progress in biomedicine in recent decades, grand challenges remain in improving cancer prevention, diagnosis and therapy. On June 29th, I participated the White House Cancer Moonshot Summit with Vice President Joe Biden, (along with several Exponential Medicine faculty). The Cancer Moonshot initiative is catalyzing progress not only with technology but also through helping align regulatory, academic and industry incentives, open data silos, increase patient involvement, access to clinical trials and more.
In this week's Exponential Medicine Talks, the role of the empowered, engaged patient in their own cancer care is highlighted by MIT postdoc Steven Keating's talk "Can Medical Selfies Save Us", and by UCSF surgeon and breast cancer specialist Laura Esserman describing her work in "Reinventing clinical trials".
Apply now to join us this Oct 8-11 for Exponential Medicine. We will be beachside at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado with over 60 world class faculty (1st batch announced), 50 selected startups in the Innovation Lab (apply here to feature your startup or technology), over 30 breakout sessions, beachside bonding and much more.
All the best,
Daniel
