Patrick Soon-Shiong of APP Pharmaceuticals donated $1 billion to create Bell Labs of Health Care according to the article “Billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong On Health Care, Obama” by Kym McNicholas from Forbes. The philanthropic investment is intended to create a public health grid.

“The idea is to actually go across the country and bring scientists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, biologists, clinicians, surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, all together. And really integrate, truly integrate, information from the basic science to the bench to the clinic” said Patrick Soon-Shiong.

At Recombinant, we look forward to this effort taking shape and hope to get involved in the project.
