The FDA agreed. On August 30, 2017, after a unanimous vote by an exuberant advisory committee (“potentially paradigm shifting”), the agency gave its green light to June’s modified T cells for ALL — its first approval ever for a cell-based gene transfer therapy. The Novartis brand name is Kymriah, a play on “chimera.” In 2018, the FDA approved it to treat several types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. (It joined Yescarta, a similar product from Kite Pharma.)

For most of my life, I’ve pursued what the famed business expert Dr. W. Edwards Deming calls profound knowledge. To me, profound knowledge is any simple distinction, strategy, belief, skill, or tool that, the minute we understand it, we can apply it to make immediate increases in the quality of our lives.
Exponential Growth in Storage Consider data storage, which is critical for the genomics world today. The 3.2 billion base pairs of your genome correspond to about 725 megabytes of data, or 0.75 gigabytes of storage. In 1981, if you were to store your uncompressed genome, a 1-gigabyte hard drive of storage cost half a million dollars. Today, it’s 50 million times cheaper at under 1 cent per gigabyte.
