Patients with advanced prostate cancer need more treatment options. One of the most important things we can do is help move promising science out of the lab and into the clinic.

That’s why I’m excited to share that @EMILosAngeles has entered into an exclusive license agreement with UniQuest to advance QED-203, a potential new treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Our team will leverage AI, preclinical research, and clinical expertise to help accelerate development and better understand its potential for patients.

There is still much work ahead, but this is an important step forward. I’m grateful to our partners at UniQuest and look forward to seeing where this collaboration leads.

The World Cup reminds us why soccer is the world’s “beautiful game.” But the science is becoming impossible to ignore. I wrote in @WSJ @WSJOpinion @FIFAWorldCup about why the game must change to better protect children’s brains. wsj.com/opinion/soccer…

In medicine, we often keep doing things simply because “that’s how it’s done.” A large @bmj_latest review of 69 clinical trials including more than 159,000 patients found little to no benefit from calcium, vitamin D, or combined supplementation in preventing fractures or falls.

I recently sat down with the incredible Bran Ferren, designer, technologist, inventor, and former President of R&D and Creative Technology at The Walt Disney Company, for his podcast, Conversations for Our Daughters. Together, we discussed the future of personalized medicine and how innovation is changing the way we prevent, detect, and treat cancer.

AI will transform medicine: from discovering new drugs to unlocking insights from data to handling routine administrative tasks. I didn’t go to medical school to spend my day in front of a computer. AI can help bring the focus back to patients and human connection. Exciting times ahead.
