If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn’t mean we don’t have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we’re sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Public.com. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we’ll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK’s quick takes on what’s going on in tech today.
Key Points From This Episode:
Autonomous science combines AI and robotics to enhance research and can significantly speed up the drug discovery process.
Clinical trials represent the largest cost in drug development.
Companies like Recursion and Tempus are leading innovations in genomics.
The future of drug discovery may resemble an app store model.
