Reed Jobs: Yosemite 的使命是使癌症在有生之年不再致命，这与追求癌症治愈不同。我们关注的是系统性地降低癌症的死亡率，这需要结合新一代的早期检测技术和精准的、基于患者的治疗方法。我们不局限于治疗药物的研发，还关注数字健康和诊断技术等领域。Yosemite 从 Emerson Collective 中剥离出来，利用慈善资金降低早期科学资产的风险，并与学术界合作，建立高效的从实验室到临床的转化途径。我们关注下一代免疫疗法、数字健康和远程医疗等领域，致力于改善患者的治疗体验和数据应用。我们与大学和美国癌症协会合作，提供无附加条件的资助，以促进癌症研究领域的创新。我们关注所有类型的癌症，但某些癌症（如胰腺癌）由于其特性，治疗进展相对较慢；而一些常见癌症（如结肠癌、肺癌、乳腺癌）则取得了显著进展。高突变癌症由于其与正常细胞差异大，更容易被免疫系统识别和清除，因此免疫疗法效果较好。人工智能在癌症研究中具有显著的加速作用，尤其是在诊断和药物研发方面。我们关注人工智能在诊断、药物研发和治疗方面的应用，并致力于降低治疗成本，改善患者的治疗效果。 Kara Swisher: 对谈话内容进行引导和提问，并对Reed Jobs 的回答进行总结和补充。 Walt Mossberg: 提出了关于Reed Jobs 受到父母影响以及童年时期使用电子设备情况的问题。

Reed Jobs, founder of Yosemite, discusses his mission to make cancer non-lethal within our lifetime, a mission inspired by his father Steve Jobs' battle with pancreatic cancer.

Shownotes Transcript

In high school, Reed Jobs was a summer intern in oncology labs while his dad, the late Apple co-founder and tech icon Steve Jobs, was battling pancreatic cancer. In his biography, Steve is quoted as calling his son’s interest in biotech the “silver lining” of his illness – and making cancer “non-lethal” has become Reed’s life mission. In 2023, he spun off the venture capital firm Yosemite) from Emerson Collective) (the philanthropy and family office founded by his mother, Laurene Powell Jobs) to focus on cancer research and biotech. Kara and Reed talk about the research-to-start up pipeline, how he’s been influenced by both of his parents, and whether AI, mRNA or CRISPR will be game changers for cancer patients.
