Helping investors thrive in an evolving world

Ziad / Health Sciences Imagine that your disease is going to kill you in less than a year, but a company develops a way to genetically engineer your own blood and your own immune cells to actually recognize the cancer and attack it. Instead of poisoning the cancer cells with toxic chemicals that wreak havoc on the immune system, you tweak the patient’s blood and let the body’s natural immune defense take care of the rest. After medical school in the UK, I worked as an emergency room doctor. What drew me to capital allocation in health sciences was the potential to help many people for years to come through investments that help fund medical innovation. My team and I often choose to invest at the very early stages of human trials, and sometimes when it’s just a concept. It’s exciting to see innovations shift from concept to reality. The human body is made up of proteins. Any disease caused by too much of a bad protein can be controlled or cured by blocking protein production at the cellular level. It’s a priority of mine to go out into the field so I can see firsthand if this is something real. Making the right investment decision is important not only for our investors but for mankind in general—because today’s treatment, which took years to develop, can have long-term future benefits for generations to come. Investing lets me use everything I’ve learned as a doctor, to help make a positive impact on the world. So that’s why I go beyond the numbers.
