Thanks, Ben - I think he was saying that, rather than do a clinical trial that could take years they hoped to repurpose existing drugs using that process to get a racing start.

Last #MM day, people here on PR worked together to produce a transcript but the sound quality was worse on this - I think people would need a cleaner recording.

Yes exactly. And thus they already have every known FDA approved drug to hand. Absolutely incredible.

Yes, I will ask around to see about a cleaner recording.

I think Ron said that a student has created an assay that cost 5 c . He had the gadget in his hand I think. It will pick up people who have certain defect. ie get a set of similar patients , then start running drugs past these cells also . I could be a tad muddled .

There's good live video that Ashley took. It's in our fb page. Can somebody put a link in here? It's in two or three parts. First is short. Second includes Montoya (note our pose with him after his talk!) . Third has Sonya, Linda, Me, Eric Gordon, and Ron.
