We’re addressing the unmet needs of patients—that’s our number-one priority.

But it requires people who have new kinds of expertise. You won’t solve these big problems if you have, say, groups of data scientists or groups of software engineers working alone. They need to be in an environment where they’re actively collaborating with biologists, computer scientists, psychologists, physicians and many, many others.
