At NEALS, Géraldine Gontier & Grace Kim will be presenting insights from the VGCS-50635-002 study, where we are investigating the small molecule PIKfyve inhibitor VRG50635 as a potential treatment for all forms of ALS. We look forward to sharing more info on how we recently identified Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) as a key pharmacodynamic biomarker of PIKfyve inhibition. We believe this marks an important step in our mission to bring innovative treatments to ALS patients. Looking forward to engaging with the research community at NEALS and driving forward the conversation on ALS therapeutics!

What companies are going to prevail in this post-AI world? Those that build the right cultures. In inventive work, the best teams outperform the average ones by 10X. There is a huge premium on building creative, effective teams of the best caliber in AI. Today, I write in Fortune about how re-defining corporate culture is the most overlooked aspect of building a successful AI-enabled company. Today's leaders don't pound their fists on the table and talk about how they're crushing it. They have the courage to simply be vulnerable.
