After losing both her sister and a close friend to cancer in the same year, Carissa Rollins knew she couldn't stay where she was. As CIO of UnitedHealthcare, she had scale and power, but not proximity to the technology that might have changed those outcomes. So when the call came from Illumina, a company pioneering genomic sequencing, she listened. And then she leapt. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Carissa shares how grief reshaped her career and how purpose—not title—has always been her compass. She talks candidly about what it means to walk away from the “biggest job of your life” to chase deeper impact, and how she's now using her insider knowledge of the payer system to open doors for patients who would otherwise be left out of the genomic revolution. Carissa also reflects on the turning points that built her leadership style—from writing a three-page letter to fight for a promotion, to insisting on coaching even when her boss said she didn't need it. She's quick to credit the mentors who pulled her forward—but equally passionate about pulling others up behind her. “Why are you sitting in the back?” she recalls asking one young woman. “Your voice is important.” Now at Illumina, she's helping her teams think critically about how AI can reduce burnout—not by cutting jobs, but by removing outdated, burdensome processes and freeing people to do more meaningful work. It's a nuanced, systems-based view that resists the hype and centers on impact. You'll also hear Carissa speak on: Why she sees restlessness as a sign it's time to grow The alarming drop in women in tech—and what we can do about it How the Grand Canyon Conservancy helps her stay grounded (and where she thinks tech could help the parks) What it really takes to make space at the table—and why women can't afford to close the door behind them This conversation is full of hard-earned wisdom, honest reflections, and a fierce belief in using every ounce of power to move others forward.

Xung đột thương mại Mỹ - Trung lần thứ hai thay đổi theo từng ngày. Bắc Kinh sử dụng lại đúng chiến lược của Washington trong các đòn đáp trả. Trong hơn 20 ngày đầu cuộc chiến, đôi bên trong thế « vừa đánh vừa nghe » : đó là chiến thuật câu giờ để chuẩn bị cho một cuộc giao tranh dài hơi và khốc liệt hơn ? Trung Quốc có không ít vũ khí để lao vào một cuộc đọ sức mà Nhà Trắng đã khơi mào. Trung Quốc là mục tiêu hàng đầu mà tổng thống Donald Trump nhắm tới trong các cuộc chiến thương mại do Nhà Trắng mở ra. Ở màn 1 khi loan báo tăng thuế nhập khẩu nhắm vào Trung Quốc, Canada và Mêhicô tổng thống Mỹ đã nhẹ tay hơn với Trung Quốc. Để rồi Washington đến giờ chót đã « tạm tha » cho hai nước láng giềng sát cạnh tại Bắc Mỹ nhưng với Trung Quốc thì không. Từ ngày 04/02/2024 hàng made in China nhập khẩn vào Mỹ bị đánh thuế thêm 10 %. Lập tức Bắc Kinh tuyên bố đáp trả « một cách tương xứng ». Dầu hỏa và khí đốt của Mỹ xuất khẩu sang Hoa Lục bị áp thuế thêm 10 và 15 %. Nhưng thuế hải quan không là công cụ duy nhất chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình có trong tay để đối phó với « trận bão Donald Trump ». Những diễn biến bất ngờ trong cuộc đấuMột điểm đáng chú ý khác, là trong suốt thời gian gần ba tuần qua, có nhiều tin trái ngược về một cuộc điện đàm giữa lãnh đạo hai siêu cường kinh tế thế giới này. Một quan chức của Nhà Trắng loan báo các ông Trump và Tập dự trù một cuộc họp trong ngày 04/02/2025 để rồi lập tức sau đó tổng thống Hoa Kỳ tuyên bố « ông không vội » trao đổi với phía Bắc Kinh. Nhưng khi Bắc Kinh đánh thuế hàng của Mỹ, thì Donald Trump cho biết ông đã « trao đổi » với ông Tập Cận Bình. Không thấy Trung Quốc đề cập đến một cuộc trao đổi ở cấp cao như vậy.Chỉ biết rằng hôm 09/02/2025 Bắc Kinh loan báo « đánh thuế vào 14 tỷ đô la hàng Mỹ xuất khẩu sang Hoa Lục » và biện pháp này có hiệu lực ngay vài giờ sau đó, tức là không để cho đối phương có nhiều thời gian « kịp trở tay ». Nhìn kỹ vào danh sách trừng phạt, 2 tờ báo tài chính Financial Times (Anh) và Nikkei Asia (Nhật Bản) cùng ghi nhận Trung Quốc mạnh tay hơn một chút so với những biện pháp đã được bộ Thương Mại Trung Quốc thông báo trước đó.Như đã được báo trước, than đá và khí hóa lỏng của Mỹ xuất khẩu sang Trung Quốc bị tăng thuế 15 %. Riêng dầu thô của Hoa Kỳ, các thiết bị nông nghiệp, xe chở hàng và ô tô có lượng phát thải lớn bị tăng thuế thêm 10%. Ngoài dự báo, Trung Quốc không chỉ sử dụng biện pháp thuế quan để đáp trả, mà còn « kiểm soát các hoạt động xuất khẩu liên quan đến 25 khoáng sản và công nghệ sang » của Trung Quốc sang Hoa Kỳ. Trung Quốc đồng thời mở rộng thêm danh sách các tập đoàn của Hoa Kỳ bị điều tra với lý do đó những công ty « không đáng tin cậy ». Google, hai tập đoàn may mặc Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger và công ty Illumina trong lĩnh vực công nghệ sinh học bị Trung Quốc điều tra.Washington và Bắc Kinh cùng dùng đòn « giơ cao đánh khẽ » Tờ Financial lưu ý độc giả trong các thông cáo chính thức, Bắc Kinh khéo léo nhắc nhở Nhà Trắng « với 5 loại đất hiếm cần thiết cho công nghiệp sản xuất vũ khí, pin mặt trời, bình điện cho xe ô tô điện của Mỹ, Trung Quốc đang làm chủ chuỗi cung ứng ». Trung Quốc sản xuất 60 % kim loại hiếm sử dụng trên thế giới và 90 % đất hiếm được sàng lọc và chế biến để có thể được đưa vào các nhà máy ở bất kỳ nơi nào trên thế giới đều phải qua tay Trung Quốc.Nhà báo Pierre Haski từng là thông tín viên của nhật báo Libération tại Bắc Kinh và hiện đặc trách mục địa chính trị trên đài phát thanh France Inter, phân tích về chiến lược « giơ cao đánh khẽ » của cả đôi bên : « Chúng ta chớ bị đánh lừa : trong trận chiến thương mại lần này, Mỹ nhẹ tay với Trung Quốc hơn là với hai nước bạn là Canada và Mêhicô khi tăng thuế nhập khẩu. Trước đây ông Trump từng tuyên bố sẽ đánh thuế 60 %, thậm chí là 100 % hàng Trung Quốc bán sang Hoa Kỳ, để rồi hiện tại chỉ tăng thêm 10 % mà thôi. Donald Trump muốn chứng minh rằng ông nói là làm và có thể giáng mạnh vào kinh tế của đối phương. Về phía Trung Quốc cũng vậy : Bắc Kinh đã phản ứng một cách chừng mực. Hiện tại Trung Quốc vẫn bán đất hiếm cho Mỹ, tức là tránh đụng vào một tử huyệt của nền công nghiệp Hoa Kỳ. Nhưng đòn này nhằm nhắc nhở Washington rằng, Bắc Kinh có nhiều là chủ bài trong tay. Cùng lúc Trung Quốc loan báo đánh thuế 10-15 % nhắm vào dầu và khí đốt của Mỹ, nhưng Hoa Kỳ không là nguồn cung cấp chính của Trung Quốc và như vậy không phương hại gì nhiều đến các nhà sản xuất ở Mỹ mà bản thân tăng trưởng của Trung Quốc cũng không bị thiệt hại. Về thứ ba là Bắc Kinh mở lại điều tra nhắm vào một vài tập đoàn Mỹ nhưng đó mới chỉ là một vài tín hiệu Trung Quốc ngầm nhắn gửi đến Washington ».Về thực chất đôi bên cùng chỉ đưa ra những biện pháp trả đũa mang tính tượng trưng nhưng tránh gây tổn thất quá lớn cho đối phương và cho chính mình, thí dụ như Trung Quốc tránh đánh vào nông phẩm của Mỹ vì đây là nguồn cung cấp 20 % đậu tương cho Hoa Lục (theo Nikkei Asia). Nhà báo Anthony Bellange, đài France Inter, cho rằng cả Washington lẫn Bắc Kinh cùng để ngỏ khả năng đối thoại.« Phản ứng của Trung Quốc rất chừng mực và thông minh : Washington cần hiểu rằng nếu cần Bắc Kinh sẵn sàng tấn vào những tử huyệt của đối thủ. Động đến Google, một tập đoàn mà chỉ có 1 % doanh thu được thực hiện ở Hoa Lục, nhưng qua đó Trung Quốc cho thấy khi cần, họ sẵn sàng trừng phạt các tập đoàn công nghệ cao của Mỹ. Trong số các tập đoàn đó thì có hãng xe Tesla của Elon Musk. Một thí dụ khác: Trung Quốc tăng thuế nhập khẩu đánh vào dầu và khí đốt của Mỹ để Washington hiểu rằng Bắc Kinh sẵn sàng ngừng nhập khẩu lương thực, thực phẩm của Hoa Kỳ và Bắc Kinh biết rõ đây là một chủ đề nhậy cảm đối với Donald Trump do các nông dân Mỹ là thành phần cử tri ủng hộ ông ». Trung Quốc còn nắm giữ nhiều vũ khí lợi hại Song trong cách đáp trả Washington, Bắc Kinh khéo léo cho thấy Trung Quốc còn nhiều vũ khí trong tay. Nếu như phía Mỹ có thể mạnh tay hơn nhắm vào những công nghệ mũi nhọn mà Trung Quốc đang cần, thì ông Tập Cận Bình cũng có thể khởi động lá chủ bài « kim loại hiếm ». Hơn thế nữa Trung Quốc còn là một chủ nợ của Hoa Kỳ. Theo một nghiên cứu của ngân hàng Pháp Crédit Agricole, tính đến cuối tháng 4/2024 tổng nợ công của nước Mỹ lên tới 34.700 tỷ đô la, Riêng Trung Quốc hiện đang làm chủ 770 tỷ đô la công trái phiếu của Hoa Kỳ, số tiền này tương đương với gần 10 % nợ của Mỹ trong tay các chủ nợ nước ngoài. Pierre Haski nhắc lại thuế hải quan chỉ là một trong số nhiều vũ khí ông Tập Cận Bình có thể huy động nhưng chưa chắc đã là phương tiện nguy hiểm nhất.« Trung Quốc có nhiều cách để trả đũa Hoa Kỳ. Bắc Kinh nắm giữ công trái phiếu của Mỹ và đây được ví như một quả bom nguyên tử, dù vậy biện pháp này chỉ là một dạng vũ khí răn đe vì sử dụng vũ khí này thì Trung Quốc sẽ đánh sập hệ thống tài chính toàn cầu mà Trung Quốc sẽ là một trong những nạn nhân đầu tiên. Phương cách thứ hai là Bắc Kinh có thể ngừng xuất khẩu đất hiếm sang Mỹ. Chúng ta biết trên thị trường này Trung Quốc nắm giữ gần như thế độc quyền mà Mỹ thì cần đất hiếm để phát triển công nghệ tiên tiến. Chính vì thế mà tổng thống Trump có ý định nhòm ngó đến đất hiếm của Ukraina ».Đôi bên cùng biết nhau khá rõ Cả Washington lẫn Bắc Kinh mỗi bên đều biết khá rõ đối thủ đang đứng trước mặt mình. Nhóm cộng sự của Donald Trump tỏ ra quyết liệt vì biết rằng xuất khẩu là một trong những động lực tăng trưởng chính của Trung Quốc. Hiện tại đối thủ của nước Mỹ đang khó nhọc để giữ được mục tiêu tăng trưởng 5 %.Ở góc đài bên kia, ông Tập Cận Bình thừa hiểu tổng thống Mỹ đang chật vật kềm hãm lạm phát. « Phạt » hàng rẻ hay nhôm thép của Trung Quốc đẩy chỉ giá tiêu dùng ở Hoa Kỳ lên cao và đó là điều mà Nhà Trắng khó giải thích được với thành phần cử tri đã bầu cho ông Trump. Dù vậy, tổng thống Mỹ thứ 47 luôn cần « ghi những bàn thắng trong công luận » và đó là một lợi thế để Trung Quốc mặc cả với chính quyền Trump. Pierre Haski nhắc lại trận chiến thương mại lần thứ nhất giữa hai cường quốc kinh tế trên thế giới hồi 2019-2020 :« Cần nhắc lại là trong chiến tranh thương mại lần thứ nhất với Trung Quốc hồi 2019, một cuộc chiến mà chính Hoa Kỳ đã gây nên trong nhiệm kỳ đầu của tổng thống Donald Trump, màn một là Nhà Trắng nhắm vào giám đốc tài chính của tập đoàn trang thiết bị viễn thông Hoa Vi cuối 2018. Đến cuối năm 2019 thì ông Trump ký hiệp định đình chiến với Bắc Kinh : Washington ngừng đánh thuế nhập khẩu vào hàng Trung Quốc. Đổi lại, Bắc Kinh cam kết mua thêm 100 tỷ đô la nông phẩm của Hoa Kỳ để thu hẹp xuất siêu với Mỹ. Chúng ta biết là kế hoạch này không được thực hiện vì những tác động của đại dịch Covid gây nên. Tất cả đã dừng lại ở đó, nhưng Trump vẫn cho rằng ông đã thành công và đã đạt được thỏa thuận với đối phương ».Kinh tế trưởng đặc trách khu vực châu Á thuộc ngân hàng HSBC thẩm định : Mỹ tăng thêm 10 % thuế nhập khẩu, Trung Quốc đủ sức « chịu đựng ». Theo nghiên cứu của Nikkei Asia, nếu chiến tranh thương mại Mỹ-Trung dừng lại ở mức thuế 10 %, GDP của Trung Quốc bị giảm đi mất 0,1 điểm, (tức là mục tiêu tăng trưởng của Bắc Kinh hiện là 5 % trong năm 2025 sẽ bị đẩy xuống còn 4,9 %).Nguy hiểm ở đây là biện pháp trừng phạt đó « mới chỉ là khúc dạo đầu », là « màn đầu tiên » như chính tổng thống Trump đã tuyên bố. Tuy nhiên, tính đến ngày 10/02/2025 chỉ số chứng khoán trên thế giới, nhất là ở Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc, Hồng Kông có mất giá đôi chút trong một, hai phiên giao dịch để rồi đã nhanh chóng khởi sắc trở lại. Đó là dấu hiệu các nhà đầu tư tin vào những tính toán thực tiễn của cả Washington lẫn Bắc Kinh. Nhưng ở « hiệp đầu » Mỹ và Trung Quốc cùng trong thế « dàn binh bố trận ».Trước ngày nhậm chức, Donald Trump đã có một cuộc điện đàm với Tập Cận Bình. Nhà Trắng đang gây hỏa mù về một cuộc trao đổi thứ nhì giữa tổng thống Mỹ và chủ tịch Trung Quốc. Một số nguồn tin thông thạo được các báo tài chính Anh Mỹ trích dẫn cho rằng « yếu tố Deepseek » gây bất ngờ trong thế giới công nghệ cao là nguyên nhân « làm trật đường rày » chiến lược của Hoa Kỳ trong cuộc đọ sức với Trung Quốc. Theo ngân hàng Barclays chẳng hạn, Trump và cánh tay mặt của ông Elon Musk khó có thể tỏ ra hòa hoãn với Bắc Kinh ».Về phía Trung Quốc, bộ Ngoại Giao nước này chỉ nhắc tới nguyên tắc chung chung là « đối thoại trên cơ sở bình đẳng và tôn trọng lẫn nhau ». Bắc Kinh không để lộ những nước cờ trước khi lao vào cuộc song đấu với Washington. Các chuyên gia của ngân hàng Anh Barclays chờ đợi, Trung Quốc sẽ có một số cử chỉ hòa hoãn ra vẻ nhượng bộ Hoa Kỳ chẳng hạn như là đồng ý bán lại mạng xã hội TikTok một chi nhánh của tập đoàn ByteDance cho một hãng Mỹ nào đó, giả vờ mở cửa thị trường Trung Quốc với các doanh nhân Trung Quốc và khuyến khích các doanh nghiệp quốc gia cộng sản này đầu tư thêm vào « thị trường tự do » ở Hoa Kỳ…Trái lại một số nhà quan sát khác, như Michael Hirson thuộc văn phòng tư vấn 22VResearch, trụ sở tại New York, thì cho rằng, còn quá sớm để dám khẳng định Mỹ và Trung Quốc đã bước vào đàm phán.Theo chuyên gia này, Bắc Kinh đang « chờ đợi Nhà Trắng có chính sách thương mại rõ ràng và trên cơ sở đó ông Tập Cận Bình mới bật đèn xanh cho các tiến trình thương lượng ». Dù vậy trong cuộc chiến thương mại, Trung Quốc và Hoa Kỳ có một lá chủ bài quan trọng cho phép đôi bên tránh được « kịch bản xấu nhất ». Đó là nhà máy lắp ráp ô tô điện khổng lồ của Tesla tại Thượng Hải mà chủ nhân là Elon Musk, cánh tay mặt của tổng thống Trump. Musk hiện được cho là nhân vật được lãnh đạo ở Nhà Trắng lắng nghe nhất hiện tại.Cho đến nay chủ tich Trung Quốc, Tập Cận Bình chỉ mới đích thân tiếp hai chủ doanh nghiệp Mỹ. Người thứ nhất là chủ tịch tổng giám đốc Apple Tim Cook và người thứ hai là ông chủ Tesla, người đang tham gia nội các Donald Trump.
Will the senior housing market boom continue going forward? Investors may think with the population getting older that investing in senior housing could be a great investment going forward. They could be right as the oldest boomers turn 80 at the end of this year. What's even more amazing is that the US population of 80-year-olds and older will hit 18.8 million in the next five years, that is a 27% increase from today. Senior housing hit a brick wall when the pandemic hit in 2020 and with the high infection rates, loss of life, and social distancing restrictions the demand fell drastically for senior housing. Both the high cost of labor and the shortage of it did not help either. It is estimated in five years they will need 560,000 new units to meet the expected demand. However, due to the high cost of development and the concern that about half of the seniors won't be able to afford private senior housing costs, it's estimated that only about 191,000 units will be added. The good news is more than 40% of seniors could afford senior housing on their income alone, which increased from 30% eight years ago. Unfortunately, those who can afford senior housing would rather not use it and prefer to age at home. Developers are willing to risk their capital on the higher end of the wealthiest seniors building luxury senior housing with fine dining, spas and movie theaters. One high end luxury senior housing project is expected to break ground this year at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego with 172 units available. I think this sector for investing at this point is worth watching, but I don't think I'd want to commit any capital at this time given there seem to be some substantial risks. Are young investors taking too much risk? A comparison of Gen Z, who were born between 1997 through 2012, versus baby boomers, who born from 1946 to 1964, show that Gen Z is taking on much more risk compared to when baby boomers were their age. In a study from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, 36% of respondents between the ages of 18 to 34 had traded options. This compares to 8% of investors who were 55 years and older. Also revealed in the survey was younger and new investors were more likely to use margin when investing. This came at a surprisingly high rate with 23% of investors between the ages of 18 and 34 saying they had used margin when investing. This compares to just 3% of respondents age 55 and older. What was also interesting and informative is the lack of investing experience as 19% of investors with less than two years of investing experience stated they had used margin. However, just 6% of investors with experience of 10 years or more have used margin. I think many of these older investors are more cautious because they had learned their lesson. There's no doubt that the younger investor today is taking on more risk than the more experienced investors. I believe this is for two reasons. First off, the access to trade and invest is so easy and it can be done on the phone in your hand at essentially any point in time. Compare that to 25-35 years ago when investors had to go through a broker to trade. The second reason I see is the Great Recession in 2008 was 17 years ago and the young investors today were only 5 to 15 years old and had no interest or care about the economy and the crash of the stock market. Investing successfully long-term involves many years of experience and research and unfortunately, I believe the younger investors will learn by experience that the risk they are taking today will not end well. Weak consumer sentiment brings down stocks Stocks fell on Friday after the headline consumer sentiment index came in at 64.7, which was down 9.8% from January and below the estimate for 67.8. This reading was also down 15.9% compared to this time last year. I was surprised to see the one-year expectation for inflation came in at 4.3%, which was the highest level since November 2023. The five-year outlook increased substantially to 3.5%, which would be the highest reading since April 1995. It was not a major surprise to see sentiment fall for Democrats and stay unchanged for Republicans, but it did fall for Independents. While I think it is important to look at various economic data, I wouldn't say this survey is overly troubling. This survey comes from the University of Michigan and when I was researching how many people it encompasses, I found it includes at least 600 households and is conducted by phone each month. It is designed to be representative of all US households, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, but with such a small data set compared to total US households as of 2023 at 131.43 million, I must say I question how indicative of all US households it truly is. As I said, I don't want to completely disregard this data point, but given the limited insight I would not be overly concerned. I do believe this shows how fickle the market is at this point and even an inkling of bad news could send stocks lower given the high valuations. Beware the tax trap of renting out your house If you're moving out of your current house, you may be considering converting your home into a rental property. This may seem like an attractive way to generate additional income. However, before making this move, it's important to be aware of the tax implications, especially the potential loss of the Section 121 capital gain exclusion. When you sell a primary residence, you may exclude up to $250,000, or $500,000 for married couples, of capital gains if you owned and used the home as your primary residence for at least two out of the previous five years. When renting out your home, you still own it, but it is no longer considered your primary residence. If you decide to sell the property more than three years after beginning to rent it, it no longer qualifies for any capital gain exclusion, resulting in a potentially large tax bill, exceeding $185,000 in some cases. Not only that, but while renting a property you claim depreciation each year. This reduces your taxable income while owning a rental, but that accumulated depreciation must be “recaptured”, which means taxed, at ordinary income rates when the property is sold. This recaptured depreciation tax also cannot be offset by the Section 121 exclusion regardless of the timing of the sale. If you want to rent out your home, make sure you either sell it before losing the exclusion, or be committed to being a real estate investor for the long haul.

ANGLE PLC (AIM:AGL, OTCQX:ANPCY) chief executive Andrew Newland talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about groundbreaking new research using its Parsortix system. The study, conducted by the Marchetti lab at the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center, uncovered key insights into how cancer spreads. Newland explained that Parsortix, the only FDA-cleared system for recovering cancer cells for analysis, was used to study circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters. The research found that B cells influence the movement of cancer clusters, accelerating metastasis. These findings open new avenues for understanding and potentially preventing cancer spread. The study also suggests that detecting B cell CTC clusters in melanoma patients could help identify those at risk of disease progression.

China will impose tariffs on select U.S. imports in response to U.S. tariffs initiated by President Trump. Starting next week, China will enforce a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas, alongside a 10% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and large-engine vehicles. The State Council Tariff Commission criticized U.S. tariffs as violations of World Trade Organization rules. China will also implement export controls on minerals essential for high-tech production, impacting U.S. economic and national security. Simultaneously, China will investigate Google, citing complaints from local manufacturers about Android practices. Two U.S. companies, PVH Group and Illumina, face potential restrictions due to their placement on an unreliable entities list.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

In the previous episode we heard how some rationally-designed therapies work on almost any cancer with the right molecular signature. Tumour-agnostic medications could be godsend for patients with rare cancers which have classically been overlooked by drug developers, and those with advanced cancers of unknown origin. 15,000 such patients have undergone comprehensive genome profiling of their tumours through the organisation, Omico. In this podcast, Omico's founder explains that while the majority have received recommendations about matched therapies, clinical trials are typically the only way to enable access. Professor David Thomas discusses why Australia's Health Technology Assessment process appears to be so conservative and how the market price of next-generation oncotherapies might be brought down by changes across the local ecosystem. Guest Prof David Thomas FRACP PhD (Director, Centre for Molecular Oncology UNSW; Founder and Chief of Science, Omico) Professor Thomas or Omico have received grants, consultancies or research support from Roche, Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Eisai, Illumina, Beigene , Elevation Oncology, RedX Pharmaceuticals, SunPharma , Bayer, George Clinical, Novotech , Merck Sharpe and Dohme, Boehringer Ingelheim, Hummingbird, Microba , BioTessellate , PMV Pharma, Australian Unity and Foundation Medicine.

The genomic understanding of cancer has transformed a tissue-based classification model that had been dominant for 150 years or more. The last three decades have seen highly targeted therapies developed at blistering pace, and unprecedented improvements in patient outcomes. To date, these advances have been focused on more common cancers. The financing model for drug development means that rare cancers get overlooked, given the small pool of potential buyers relative to the costs and risks of investment. However, the molecular targets characterised in more common cancers are often found in cancers of a different histotype. As such, precision therapies will sometimes have tissue-agnostic efficacy and offer a lifeline for patients with neglected diseases or cancers of unknown origin. Professor David Thomas has founded an NGO called Omico to enable such patients to undergo profiling for hundreds of potential molecular targets. In this interview he explains the rationale for the most promising pan cancer therapies, and in the next episode we discuss changes to the regulatory and funding model required to sustain this screening program.

Dr. Jonathon Hill, VP of Science and Technology and Co-Founder of Wasatch Bio Labs has developed the Next-Generation Sequencing 3.0, NESSI-Seq platform, which can analyze blood to detect epigenetic changes and provide insights into current health and predisposition for diseases. This native-read third-generation sequencing tool can provide longer sequence reads and analyze epigenetic modifications to DNA. Epigenetics can change over time in response to diet, environment, and lifestyle. Advanced genetic testing has the potential to provide biomarkers to support personalized medicine for earlier detection and tailored interventions. Jonathon explains, "The biggest limitation with the Illumina sequencing was that it was only short sequences, so you had to get a lot of them to stitch them together and figure out what the human genome looked like. With this third-generation sequencing, we can get much longer reads, sometimes to the order of a hundred thousand nucleotide bases at a time. So we get these big complex reads." "The other thing we can do now with this third-generation sequencing is look at certain chemical modifications the body makes to the DNA to help regulate that DNA and help the body function. And looking at those chemical modifications can tell us a lot about someone's health. It can tell us their age, and it can tell us what disease they might have. We can get a lot of information out of that that just wasn't available to us in the previous two generations." "If you think of classical genetics, it's the DNA sequence and the mutations you might have that might give you a propensity for the disease, etc. Those don't change throughout your life. Every cell in your body has that exact same sequence from birth until death. It never changes. But the epigenetics, these chemical modifications change. They change as you age. They are different in different tissues and organs within your body, changing even in response to pathogens or certain disease states. So they have a lot of information that we would not get otherwise." #WasatchBioLabs #Epigenetics #GeneticResearch #PersonalizedMedicine #DNAInnovation #GeneticTesting #NextGenSequencing #BiotechBreakthroughs #GeneRegulation #HealthcareInnovation #FutureofMedicine Wasatchbiolabs.com Download the transcript here
