Drug development has two simultaneous accelerators:
• AI is collapsing design (weeks instead of years).
• China is collapsing development (physical iteration speed).
Here is why that matters, and what Western biotech is missing: 🧵

Just met one of the organizers of the Lantern Summit, which is an invite-only biotech conference happening in Shanghai at the end of October. Just go to thelanternsummit.com if you're interested in applying.
I personally can't go, unfortunately, too many Mommy duties! Anyway, at @techbuzzchina, we still haven't managed to land clients focused on biotech yet but we keep on accumulating biotech contacts, so hopefully something will happen eventually!
