“Building a supercomputer on our, on-prem for us, really just to run proprietary drug discovery models. We think it's the biggest biologically focused supercomputer there is. And certainly the biggest pharma's done. Yes. With B 300 latest chipset.”

“We'll spend almost 25% of sales this year. John Collison: I liked your way of putting us that you spend more on medical R&D than Germany does. Dave Ricks: Yes. Dave Ricks: Yeah. Dave Ricks: We're at the nation state level. It'll be, you know, fourteen billion …”

“And there's been studies on this of medical inventions that are not promoted... It's about a sixteen-year path to full adoption. With the medicine promoted, it's half that. We have an internal goal to half that again, to get to four years, to full whatever it …”

“We built a monoclonal antibody biotech hub there. It's produced like a third of the medicines we've made since we started. Hugely successful. There's 400 employees.”

“Like we talked about LP a earlier. That was the case there. We discarded the antibody. There is one that's been developed. And we went after the small molecule and the siRNA. They're both in phase three.”

“Now, by happy accident, we are all now really pleased with, like, incretins, like our trisepetide to run them because they frequently demonstrate massive benefit. Uncardiovascular. And in some ways, it creates a barrier to entry for the next low-cost Chinese p…”

“I have a belief that if you're not generating, to generate double digit growth in the sector, you need to invest at 20 to 25% of sales in R&D. That's sort of a good, a positive return R&D stack.”
