The Renaissance in Obesity Treatment Innovation panel at #SXSW is shining a light on the future of obesity care. Current options have helped many people, but they don’t work perfectly for everyone. That’s why researchers are exploring new ways to make obesity care safer, easier and more effective. OAC President and CEO Joe Nadglowski will join Dr. Angela Fitch and Paul Bolno to talk about new ideas in obesity treatment, clear up common myths about obesity and explore what care could look like in the future.

The david copperfield of longevity ? Sxsw heathtech panels with @function and other companies were more inspiring

Commerce is only as good as the rails supporting it. Just as Plaid and Stripe redefined what's possible in financial services and digital payments, @naturalpay is pioneering a new wave: agentic payments for frictionless money movement between agents, businesses, and consumers.

What a lovely way to begin the week! 🍵☕️ in Venice Beach with beauty & wellness founders and sustainable fashion brands #venturebacked #community

Longtime drug developer Suma Krishnan was in her late-40s when she had the idea for a topical gene therapy to treat a rare and terrible skin disorder in which the skin becomes as fragile as butterfly wings. In 2016, at 51, after a few months of modeling the idea and starting the process of patenting it, she and her husband Krish Krishnan, with whom she’d worked in biotech for more than a decade, cofounded Krystal Biotech. See where she landed on the #Forbes250 America's Greatest Innovators list: forbes.com/sites/alexknap… (Photo: Jamel Toppin)
