How the Mark Foundation Is Rebuilding the Cancer R&D Model
'I like the label 'new operating system.' I think that does capture well what we're trying to do here,' says Dr. Ryan Schoenfeld, CEO of the Mark Foundation. In this episode of Vanguards of Health Care, Schoenfeld joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Sam Fazeli to explore how the foundation is redesigning cancer research through global collaboration, platform thinking and a bold portfolio approach. They discuss the Foundation's growing international footpr int, why basic research is increasingly under threat in the US, and where new breakthroughs — including solid tumor CAR-T and glioblastoma — may emerge in the next five years.

What if Chinese, US firms make humanoid robots together? Tech CEO calls for collaboration
The founder of a prominent Chinese robotics start-up sees great value in working with American peers to advance the global development of humanoid robots – and his call for stronger collaboration between the fractious trade partners comes as China's private sector is playing an increasingly larger role in innovation.

'Each has its advantages, making global collaboration and joint promotion of the field worthwhile,' he added, noting that the world shared a common goal for the industry. Wang was speaking on Tuesday at a press conference organised by the government to promote confidence in the private sector, and executives from other leading private companies were also present.
