Catalyst NYC last week brought together people from across the research and funding world to talk about where science funding and translation are heading. Amazing lineup, from Joni L Rutter (@NIH /NCATS) and Bridget Turaga (@NSF) to biotech founders, investors, and patient advocates. My personal highlight was the talk by @JAC0BSTERN on going founder mode on cancer. He walked through the N=1, data-driven approach he and @sytses took to Sid's osteosarcoma: maximal diagnostics, single-cell and multiomic profiling, and personalized therapies built around one patient's tumor. Coming from cell therapy and multiomics myself, it was striking to see that level of individualized, engineering-minded medicine performed in real time! We presented with @ResearchHub & @ResearchHubF new ideas and implementations on how funding can become faster, more open, and reviewed in real time. Great talks by @joycesticks and @jeffyfish9 on ResearchHub's new funding model and the really cool new idea of auto-generated proposals that could turn soon your ongoing work into fundable projects almost on its own. More coming soon! Interesting times ahead for how research gets funded. #CatalystNYC# #OpenScience# #TranslationalScience#
