I like to look for patterns, in science and life. It’s what I do.

You don't inherit cancer you actually get it.

Cancer is really a slew of rare diseases. Lung cancer has 700 sub-types, breast cancer has 30,000 mutations which means that every cancer in its own right is a rare disease. Sharing data globally in this context is really important from a life-threatening perspective.

The foundations and the intent of the Affordable Care Act are laudable. The way it's being implemented is a disaster.

Baseball is like cricket, and I grew up in a country where they had cricket. So I understand cricket, soccer and basketball. I played basketball at the club level and a little bit in college, so thats why Im a basketball fanatic.

I have an obligation to use what I know to try to bring real, usable medical science to every doctor and bedside and patient.

I think of L.A. as truly the melting pot. It’s basically a mini country unto itself.

The pancreas is by far the most complex organ in the body.

I love doing a lot of things I'm told I can't do. I think that's what drives me and keeps me awake every day.

We need to think of chronic disease, hypertension, cancer, like H1N1. In fact, there's an epidemic of chronic disease.

I want to do transformational work to actually fix the world.

I'm a physician. I've been blessed with ideas and resources to use technology to make the world a better place. That's what I would like to leave behind.

I'm truly passionate about basketball. I'm not as passionate about baseball as I am about basketball, but I watch baseball and I watch football. I love sports in general.

Every patient is a consumer, and every consumer is a potential patient. What NantWorks is doing is building the world the way Da Vinci saw it, and augmenting every frame a human being sees as they work, live and play.
