Always inspiring to work with Regina Dugan, a refreshingly different way of thinking & acting, a constructive disrupter, working at the edge of what’s possibly & inspiring others to work together to ask “What if…..?” Wellcome Leap wellcomeleap.org ft.com/content/92d1ba…
The Financial Times today featured Wellcome Leap's CEO Regina E. Dugan.
“That’s the way we think about these programmes and problems, we look for the intersection between that which we think could be possible and that which will make a difference in the world.”
For people living with depression, getting better answers, sooner, is the hope.
What if a global team of scientists and doctors, working together, could make that hope a reality?

The average wait for a lifesaving kidney transplant is 3-5 years — and every 10 minutes, another name gets added to the list.
What if we could 3D print a kidney for every single one of them? bit.ly/3A7jDh4
