sean: we are focused on life sciences, in particular in the emerging field, cancer immunotherapy, leveraging the immune system to fight cancer. it is the case that, in order to maximize impact, i need to work on problems where, because of some novel insight, the problem is essentially hackable. there is a relatively short-term way of having a large impact that may not have been tried. cancer is an interesting one in lackense that there is no of resources since nixon declare the war on cancer. the u.s. government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in this fight, over $4 billion per year just on funding. countless billions of dollars spent by private donors. it is not a resource issue. it is a resource allocation issue. it is a philosophy of science issue.

it has to do with how those resources are utilized. largek there are a lot of private foundations that stay away from cancer because they feel they have nothing to offer. my involvement in the field started from a kind of insight that the immune system could play a role in both preventing and fighting cancer. we now have two fda approved drugs, both of which have been incredibly successful in treating melanoma. we are on the road to having a number of cell-based therapies that utilize your body's his own t cells to fight cancer. stephanie: as an investor, do you try to keep involved with medical technology? sean: we try to keep them as separate as possible. adventure of philanthropy is exciting and important. any investing we did in this space would have been through the foundation and not

individually. feel you are you filling a void in terms of philanthropy, specifically in medical research, in part because nih has lost so much funding? question there has been a huge historical hit to research and develop me in hasu.s. because nih funding not been restored and has not continued at the pace of inflation over the last decade or so. there is an organization i'm involved with that is working specifically on this issue. there is a bill in front of congress which hopefully will funding to his previous levels. those are important things. cancer fundamentally, research is extremely well-funded. there is a question about how effectively those funds are
