For Issue #4 of my newsletter, I wrote everything in my brain on Geographic Atrophy. $APLS $ISEE $CBIO $GMTX. C3 vs. C5 vs CFH. Monthly vs. every other month. Square root vs. absolute size. Lampalizumab. Dose response. Sham injection growth. New onset exudations. Market size.
I taught myself almost everything I know about the eye, the complement system, and macular degeneration. We covered a little in pharmacy school but that feels like a long time ago... If I erred on any science tweet me so I can do a correction Issue #5.
This was the longest piece I have written in years and the most in-depth I have gone in explaining immunology concepts so I’m sure not everything is perfect. But I wanted to make it approachable too. It was a lot of fun!
A big thank you to @JMac_SI and @Slingshot_Invst for allowing me to use anonymized quotes from their paywalled KOL calls. If you invest in biotech, their “starter” tier is a no brainer to learn about the companies you own. I can not thank them enough! https://slingshotinsights.com
