Third - AI will bend healthcare cost curves faster in fields like diagnostics, clinical trial design and healthcare services than therapeutics. Diagnostics is leveraging AI for better liquid biopsy tests, image analysis, multi-omics integration... these are happening now for…
Second: #Biology is nonlinear and more complex than language. When you generate text/video using #AI today, that's thanks to models using tens of trillions of tokens. In contrast, under 20K molecules have been tested in humans to generate the kind of gold standard data we need…
We're seeing daily posts about #bio < > #AI, $1B financings 💰, new models released. But what of it? Are we really about to see a "revolution" in bio fueled by AI? Short answer: soon, but it will take a few more years. Here are my 3 quick thoughts. First - Data, not models,…
#China biotech "curbs" is an important debate, balancing US national security with patient interests. On the one hand, the US should clearly do more to stimulate its domestic #biotech industry through more NIH, NSF and similar funding programs. We should give more incentives for…
This is scary. We're targeting #Parkinson's among other neurodegenerative diseases with our 💵💰💸 at @CivilizationVC.
Once rare, Parkinson's disease is now the fastest growing neurodegenerative disease, with a new case diagnosed every 6 minutes in the US. Why? I argue that it's lax regulation of toxic chemicals, from pesticides to those used in dry cleaning. Read: nytimes.com/2025/09/08/opi…
One of my CEOs asked me this week - "how do I hire"? After starting/running/funding over 70 companies - with 20 exits to players like @Roche @illumina @23andMe - here are my Top 5 Rules. Thread 🧵👇
This is probably one of the most important posts for early stage founders. Especially in biology - when you fail to proactively and precisely point out risks - and instead hype or distort progress - you're fooling no one. And once you lose credibility, it's hard to win it…
Believe it or not, it's usually wise to walk investors through the risks involved in your startup. Investors know there's risk. If there wasn't, your valuation would be billions of dollars right now. And if you're vague about the risks you seem glib, or worse still, clueless.
30 years almost to the day after Netscape went public and the internet revolution was born, the #AI inflection point has been hit. What do I mean? #ChatGPT and its clones now *easily* outperform 90% of lawyers, financial advisors, doctors and - yes - VCs at basic diligence and…

One of the most powerful strategies for long-term success is to not follow the herd, to be contrarian. Just look at Palantir when it started, or SpaceX or Tesla. Far-fetched ideas that only seem obvious in hindsight. The most successful companies that we’ve invested in…
What's more interesting than 100,000,000 data points? 1 BiLLION singe-cell datapoints! Virtual Cell x AI x Bio = new medicines @CivilizationVC is happy to back our friends at @tahoe_ai @nalidoust @genophoria @kevansf @iamjohnnyyu
We’ve raised $30M to build the foundational dataset for Virtual Cell Models: 1Bn single-cell datapoints, mapping 1M drug-patient interactions, to be shared with one partner. Our goal: Move the frontier - From models to precision medicines that help patients. @tahoe_ai 🧵

"Yankner and his team linked lithium loss with other markers of the disease, including a build-up of tau protein tangles and altered activity of Alzheimer-related genes. They even identified a potential means to break the deleterious cycle." New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium…
Go @CivilizationVC team - made the TOP 3 among Comp Bio leading investors!🧬🚀 🙏 @jonnyVChealth + @HSBC for the amazing analysis.
Longevity Ladies <Across medicine, “Researchers studied men, and doctors applied the results to women,” said Dr. Louise Aronson, a geriatrician and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. “It is better now for many things, but old habits die hard.”…

#PhD Survey: when a PhD (#biology, #chemistry) joins or founds a startup, what will be their biggest challenge? 👇🎓🧬
Happy Independence Day! I escaped Iran as an 8 year old with my family - through the deserts of Afghanistan on the back of a pick up truck - to ultimately reach the free shores of America. Millions of others made similar sacrifices to reach freedom. The Bill of Rights may be…
The results are in #PhD.
