Lux family co @VariantBio
we created + funded this company to find outlier people in outlier parts of the world with outlier traits...
to develop new drugs for all of the rest of us.
Out today on the cover of @ScienceMagazine: work led by @KeoluFox (UCSD) and Alexander Ioannidis (Stanford) with @VariantBio. Polynesians experienced founder effects 10x stronger than Finland’s, with big implications for drug discovery and clinical care: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Alpha in biotech comes from looking where no one else is. At @VariantBio, we’ve built a proprietary engine to uncover human genetic evidence that the rest of the industry is missing. I had a great deep dive into the ethics and science of our approach on @biotechnation today.
