Well said Vas. AI will help us conquer disease, but this will take time, effort and lots and lots of data that doesn’t exist, yet. I would add that robotic labs will begin to make scaling data more tractable. lnkd.in/p/g8qvP5qX

We started Arda in 2025 to speed up American manufacturing. We have spent the last year building with Anduril as our design partner. Today we are launching the company publicly on CNBC and announcing our Series A: $160M at a $1.5B valuation. Our platform helps manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines, putting designs into production faster now. Next we'll build automated lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as human workers, letting America make products that now require armies of workers in Asia.

My theory is biotech is about to turn into a national security thing and the west doesn't really get a vote Beijing just floated blocking foreign buyouts of china's cell and gene therapy and siRNA platforms And what's interesting is what they're NOT blocking. Licensing individual drugs is still totally fine So you can sell the west a medicine, just not the platform that makes the next 100 of them And the west has been buying like crazy lol. Foreign deals for chinese biotech assets are at $120B through august, up 36% Astrazeneca's $1B gracell deal, that CAR-T platform, probably doesn't happen under this draft Same update hits AI tech too btw we spent years fighting over who gets the chips. Feels like the next fight is over who owns the platforms that spit out the next generation of medicines Once biology is programmable it's not really a healthcare business anymore, it's infrastructure Still just a draft tho, comments open till nov 15 bio/acc.
