And not just understood by a small handful of people focused on profit alone, but by everyone who can uncover new insights that will lead to better medicines, and a healthier future for everyone. To realize this possibility, we need to work collaboratively, sharing and scaling our collective knowledge in the pursuit of greater insight so we can better understand disease. Only then will new treatments and cures be possible.
