> But KJ’s treatment — which built on decades of federally funded research — offers a new path for companies to develop personalized treatments without going through years of expensive development and testing.

Really incredible story and I'd love to know the process for receiving this, for example FDA approval etc. It's nice to see such in-your-face results from Federal funding programs. Without being political, it's sometimes hard for regular people to appreciate just how much good actually comes out of Federal Funding. There was another thread where someone even said something along the lines of : "Well during war things get done faster" . This simply isn't true. It might be done louder but Federal Funding never stopped pushing things forward.

I didn't want to bring up specifics but I'd be lying if it wasn't on my mind.

It would probably be good if more of us brought up specifics more often.

It would be nice, but you know how politics can usually turn into a bit of a toxic environment online. That said, I personally don't see the DOGE thing as anything other than a way to reduce the power of regulatory enforcement. I'm sure someone who would want that would never be conflicted with interests there...
