The AI Revolution in Cancer:
Grab your musket & don't wait for a silver bullet.
Ask any AI frontier lab leader what AI will do for humanity and "cure cancer" tops every list.
The image is always the same: miracle drugs. That's not how it's actually playing out.

What if the cancer center of the future had no walls? And what if AI could help save millions of lives?
In this episode of OncoInfluencer Series by OncoDaily TV, Dr. Gevorg Tamamyan (@GevTamamyan), Editor-in-Chief of OncoDaily and Candidate for @WHO Director-General, sits down with Laraki for a deeply personal conversation about leadership, innovation, and the future of cancer care.
From the alarming gap between scientific advances and everyday clinical practice to the human cost of delayed diagnoses, they explore some of healthcare’s most urgent challenges.
Can virtual cancer clinics bring world-class care to everyone, regardless of where they live? Could AI revolutionize cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship?
“AI can help us save millions of people from cancer.” — Othman Laraki
A story of family, ambition, and a bold vision to make cancer care faster, smarter, and accessible to all.

As we scale intelligence, perhaps it becomes optimal to de-scale organizations to get the greatest impact.

It is mind-boggling when companies build an amazing product and fuck it up disrespecting customers on ticky-tacky shit.
Getting a @Tesla Y with FSD is the first iPhone-level moment I had with tech in a decade - only to waste hours of my time on a $5 defective roof rack part.
5/ I don't think I ever posted about a product I'm pissed off about. It struck me that shitty products are all over the place and I dismiss them and don't get dwell on it. This drove me up the wall BECAUSE of how much I like the car and product. The more loyal and appreciative of a product the more infuriating it is when you're disappointed and feel disrepsected.

6/ @Tesla, get your act together on the small stuff. You literally made a customer who had trouble imagining buying any other car feel you don't deserve another dollar from them because of a $5 part. I know this ridiculous runaround was not intentional, but you can be intentional about giving agency to your team to avoid stupid outcomes.

New Phase 3 results shared at this year’s @myESMO mark a pivotal moment for cancer vaccines, bringing new promise for personalized cancer care.
In a new @statnews byline, Parker Institute CEO @DrKarenKnudsen and @Color CEO @othman explore how lessons from BRCA testing can help accelerate cancer vaccine development and expand access for patients.

The question is no longer whether cancer vaccines can work. It’s whether our system can get them to patients.
Thanks to @statnews for publishing the op-ed I co-authored with @DrKarenKnudsen, CEO of the @parkerici on the subject.

Guidelines are dead, long live guidelines. A process that takes years to produce prescriptive recommendations no longer makes sense: cancer is too complex and the deliberation too slow. We need a new model for how consensus on care is formed and propagated. My bet: an AI-driven system that is statistical, handles the real complexity of patients and treatments, and updates as fast as the evidence does. When discoveries land every week, locking access behind years of deliberation is unacceptable.

Congrats @kevinweil, @dpatil and the @warpsciences team!
Every AI-for-science bet eventually hits the same wall: going from moving bits to moving atoms. Cutting the latency of that atom-moving loop - automated labs that learn from every run - changes the economics of entire industries. And building this in the US matters for national security as much as for the people developing new medicines.
Can’t imagine a better crew to make this happen 🦾
💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.
We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.
I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

The cancer center of the future will be virtual first
From Google to cancer care, Othman Laraki (@othman), Co-Founder and CEO of Color Health (@color), is rethinking how patients access cancer expertise.
In an interview with OncoDaily, he discusses virtual-first cancer care, AI-supported clinical services, earlier diagnosis, and the need to close the gap between scientific advances and everyday practice.
His vision: making access to high-quality cancer care less dependent on geography.
