I flew to Baltimore with a thesis and I left with something harder to quantify. This is by far the most important (and moving) piece I've written — on HD, on $QURE, and on what the FDA has done to people who deserve better. Share if you can. Link below.

Site still under construction - but this is one of the valuable views I can share with you today. Stocks with most buys/increases by 50+ Biotech funds. Surprised to see $CMPS in second place. Researching and likely buying it Monday!

We wrote letters, met management teams, spoke with advocates and lobbyists, exposed Arnold Ventures, and went deep down the rabbit hole on this one. Result: Makary out. Hoeg out. Prasad out. Szarama out. All discussed on my last podcast with @twiii_podcast before it happened. Now the important part: I fully endorse @houmanhemmati for FDA Commissioner. We need evidence-based leadership that actually understands next-generation biologics, cell & gene therapy, and advanced medicines if America wants to stay ahead of China. Most importantly, rare disease families deserve regulators who understand urgency, scientific nuance, and the reality that doing nothing is also a decision.

Szarama staying at the FDA in any capacity is a problem. She wasn’t just some random FDA hire. She was at Arnold Ventures, then went to ARPA-H for a few months, then was brought into CBER leadership by Vinay Prasad. That path deserves a lot more attention. And when you look into ARPA-H, the original HARPA/ARPA-H concept traces back to a white paper co-authored by Michael Stebbins, who was previously an executive at the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. It’s also important that Pink Sheet reported in Sept. 2025 that Szarama was “on detail to the CBER director’s office from ARPA-H. So what exactly was her status at FDA? Was she a formal FDA employee, or was she still an ARPA-H detailee? What ethics screen was applied when a recent Arnold Ventures gene therapy policy author moved into CBER leadership? Was she involved in any rare disease or gene therapy meetings? And why is she staying at the FDA? insights.citeline.com/pink-sheet/adv… fas.org/wp-content/upl… goodscienceproject.org/about/michael-…

in addition to makary and prasad, without waiting for new leadership to decide, the administration went ahead and showed the rest of the leadership team associated with arnold ventures the door. this sends a strong message this administration is serious about innovation, cares about rare disease patients, and won't let american biotech lose its leadership position in the world.
