🎧 ICYMI: On Future of Medicine, #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social & @erictopol.bsky.social discuss why the next revolution in healthcare may come not from new treatments, but from preventing disease before it starts. Watch now: https://bit.ly/3NGmWWT
🎧 New episode of Future of Medicine is live! Cardiologist, scientist & bestselling author @erictopol.bsky.social joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social to discuss the future of #HealthyAging, & why preventing disease may be the biggest opportunity in modern medicine. https://bit.ly/3NGmWWT
🎧 ICYMI: On Future of Medicine with #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social, Alexis Thompson describes the arc of progress in sickle cell disease, from simple interventions like newborn screening & penicillin to breakthrough gene therapies that may offer patients a cure. https://bit.ly/47EYlII
🎧 NEW on The Future of Medicine: #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social & @kbibbinsdomingo.bsky.social, physician, epidemiologist & Editor-in-Chief of @jamanetworkopen.com, discuss how today's most influential #MedicalResearch gets evaluated, debated & ultimately published. https://bit.ly/43LGRZv
🎧 ICYMI: Mark Skylar-Scott joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social to discuss what it will really take to bioprint living tissues, & why solving vascularization (the blood vessel network) is essential before engineered organs can become reality. https://bit.ly/43LGRZv

ICYMI: @mcuban.bsky.social, entrepreneur and founder of @costplusdrugs.com, joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social on The Future of Medicine to unpack why patients, clinicians & hospitals are caught in a system driven by misaligned incentives. https://bit.ly/43LGRZv
Coming Jan. 12 on The #FutureOfMedicine: Entrepreneur, investor & founder of @costplusdrugs.com, @mcuban.bsky.social joins #StanDOM's @euanashley.bsky.social to discuss what's broken in U.S. healthcare — from drug pricing to insurance incentives.
We also talk about how Cost Plus aims to disrupt the (frankly insane) way that medicines make it from the pharma companies that develop them to the patients who need them.

More than that, he puts his money where his mouth is. In this wide ranging conversation in front of a live audience at Stanford Health Care we discuss what is broken about the health care system and what we can each do to fix it.
We were excited to host Mark Cuban at Stanford. While most of us know him from Shark Tank or the Dallas Mavericks (and we talk about that too!) Mark is, surprisingly to some, one of the most insightful analysts and commentators on our health care system today.

Amazing work from Daniel, Fritz and team!
Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Variant effect map review: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Cardiovar consortium: www.genomeweb.com/research-fun...
Atlas of variant effect maps: www.mavedb.org
These sorts of maps will increasingly become central tools in our quest to understand disease-causing human genes to help patients and prevent disease.
Further, functional scores correlated with hyperlipidemia phenotypes in prospective human cohorts and augmented polygenic scores to improve risk inference.
This yielded sequence–function maps that recapitulate known biochemistry, offer functional insights, and provide evidence for interpreting clinical variants.
Here, Daniel and team tested the impact of nearly all possible (~17,000) missense coding variants in the receptor for LDL ("bad cholesterol"), the gene most commonly responsible for FH. Importantly, they tested two functional readouts: LDLR cell-surface abundance and LDL uptake.
The new science of "variant effect mapping" uses cellular biology to model all possible variants in important genes in advance, providing scientists and clinicians with estimates as to their pathogenicity.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is among the most common inherited cardiovascular diseases. It causes early heart attacks that are preventable with modern therapy. The challenge is that many variants identified by sequencing are of unclear significance.
So excited about this new work from our CardioVar consortium out this week in Science led by the amazing Daniel Tabet and @fritzroth.bsky.social.

The credit for this honor goes to my team and the incredible environment here at Stanford University. I am so grateful for the opportunities that this special place has afforded me.
