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.

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.

You don't inherit cancer you actually get it.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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