Congrats on the launch. I always love to see smart ML founders applying their talents to health and bio. What were the biggest challenges in getting major pharma companies onboard? How do you think it was the same or different compared to p

The thing that took the most time was normalizing biomarker names and units across labs. Even for the same lab chain (say, Quest), you'll get the same biomarker with slightly different names (e.g., Lp(a) vs Lipoprotein(a) vs Lipoprotei

Lepodisiran has reduced Lp(a) by 94% in clinical trails. After it gets approved, IMO the author should re-write this section.

I started a company that does exactly that (except we also have doctors who can prescribe the medications, not just LLMs). So I don't think the approach you describe is naive, but others might. :)

There are multiple independent risk factors for heart disease. The major ones are: - LDL / ApoB - Blood pressure - inflammation (hs-CRP) - Insulin resistance (HbA1c) - Lp(a): strongest hereditary risk factor. - eGFR: a me

I think the title is deliberately provocative, but they're not wrong. Heart disease is largely solvable from a biomedical standpoint: we have accurate biomarkers (e.g., ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP), long-term risk prediction models, precision

The main side effects of statins are muscle pain and brain fog (from some statins -- others cross the blood-brain barrier much less). The benefit of statins is to not only lower LDL cholesterol, but also inflammation, which is now actually
