Medicine’s new dawn
We are about to have more data about human biology than ever before. That is changing how medicines are invented, how they are prescribed, and how patients and physicians interact with unprecedented speed. Medicine has gone from faxes to electronic health records to large language models, from mouse models to organs on a chip to gene editing.
But the biggest — and toughest — change will come when artificial intelligence and other technologies transform the budget-straining process of turning big ideas into actual drugs, upending the economics of one of the world’s most challenging businesses. Here, STAT will ask the perennial, trenchant questions among those in the field: Are we there yet? And how much longer? This extends to an array of transformative new technologies from biotech, health tech, and the world of machine learning. Join us as DNA goes digital.
