Talking Precision Medicine

Today’s news is dominated by the corona virus and COVID-19 pandemic. Rightfully so.  But today we’re bringing you a story of another class of viruses, called Phage. Phage are viruses that find and kill bacteria, and Felix is a Bay Area biotech harnessing the power of phage to fight the scourge of antibiotic resistant infections. So join our conversation with founder and CEO, Dr. Rob McBride, from wherever you have socially distanced yourself or locked down on quarantine, and learn about the viruses that are actually saving lives.

Today’s episode is a bit different — different in that we are rejoined by a previous guest — David Mittelman. David is CEO of Othram, the first genomics-based forensics company. The audience response to our first conversation was so overwhelming we wanted to have David back on. And the timing couldn’t be better. Since our last chat, David and Othram have been all over the news, and have launched a new database product. Visit ⁠TPM E18 for highlights and links from this episode.

Today our guests are Charlie Silver and Nigel Beard. Charlie is CEO, and Nigel CTO, of Mission Bio. Mission Bio is a single-cell analysis platform company empowering researchers to cure cancer. They are the first company to deliver simultaneous measurement of the genotype and phenotype at single-cell resolution. In this episode, we talk about the audacious mission at Mission Bio, and how their groundbreaking platform enables a whole new set of questions to be answered in cancer research. We also go deep on potential clinical applications and the future of single-cell multi-omic datasets. Visit ⁠⁠TPM E17⁠ for highlights and links from this episode.

Welcome to the Talking Precision Medicine podcast. In this series, we sit down with experts on the application of AI and big data analytics in the drug discovery space.
