Biden’s health care AI czar, a new obesity company, and its dealmaking CEO

Who is President Biden’s health care AI czar? What does he do? And why do some folks believe he has one of the toughest jobs in D.C.?

We talk about all that and more on this week’s episode of “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. Our colleague Mohana Ravindranath joins us to talk about Micky Tripathi, charged with coordinating how AI is used across different government agencies and more broadly across the health care industry.

We also chat about some important biotech study readouts due before the end of the year, a new, well-funded obesity company, and the successful serial CEO running it. Finally, Adam and Allison lament the fact that Elaine hasn’t yet watched the first episode of this season’s “Great British Baking Show.”

Check out Mohana’s profile of Micky Tripathi here, Allison’s story on the new obesity company Kailera Therapeutics here, Adam’s mini-profile of Kailera CEO Ron Renaud here, and a scorecard of stock-moving events for the fourth quarter here.
