  • Missing the Nobel Call with Fred Ramsdell

    Missing the Nobel Call with Fred Ramsdell
    2026/03/11
    Newly-minted Nobel laureate Fred Ramsdell joins Claudia to discuss his groundbreaking work on regulatory T cells, which act as the immune system's natural "brakes." His research aims to "reset" the immune system to cure autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis and MS) moving beyond mere symptom management. Fred reflects on his new role as a science advocate, addressing the crisis of public trust in science and the need for greater diversity in biomedical research.During this conversation, recorded at the UC Berkeley/JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in Taipei, Claudia and Fred discuss:How Fred missed the Nobel Prize call while off-grid campingHis shifting goals in retirement post Nobel winWhy he chose biotech: collaboration, speed, and being "wrong fast"The deeper threat to science: funding vs. trust, and his surprise in SwedenFred says he’s excited to see what other advances are possible in what he calls “the early innings” of scientific discovery:“As humans, we're really good at solving technological problems. If we know what the problem is, historically, we're pretty good at figuring out an answer. [We’re] pretty confident now that we know the problem in peripheral tolerance, that is the breakdown of our immune system recognizing our own tissues. Now we know what at least part of that problem is, we'll be able to engineer our way into a solution.”Relevant LinksSee more about Fred’s Nobel win and read the UCLA press releaseFred’s Nobel prize lectureSee Fred and his co-laureates accept their prizeRead more about Fred’s 2025 co-laureates Mary E.

  • Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness with Kunal Modi

    Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness with Kunal Modi
    2026/02/25
    When Mayor Lurie took office, San Francisco was spending nearly $1 Billion a year responding to homelessness, yet the number of people living unsheltered had not budged in years. In this episode, Kunal Modi, the city’s Chief of Health and Human Services, shares how the Lurie administration is tackling the intersecting homelessness, mental health and addiction crises. Rather than layering on new programs, the city is attempting something harder: redesigning how fragmented systems work together.Kunal and Claudia discuss:The city’s move to unify fragmented and siloed outreach teamsThe importance of shifting accountability and decision-making to the front linesHow San Francisco’s strategy is leveraging the community supports in CalAIMWhy solutions need to reflect the intersecting nature of the homeless problemKunal reminds us that ending the cycle of homelessness is far more complicated than just finding housing:“This is more than a homelessness crisis, it's an intersecting homelessness, behavioral health, and drug addiction crisis that we need to bring our healthcare system and our social service system in closer alignment… We need to reorient our Public Health strategies to not only support those in crisis, but to think about the broader communities and neighborhoods.”Relevant LinksSee Mayor Lurie’s thoughts on the “Breaking the Cycle” initiativeGet more information on the City’s new RV parking restrictionsRead the Crankstart report on tackling homelessness in San Francisco About Our GuestKunal Modi is the policy chief of health, homelessness, and family services in San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s administration.

  • Bending the Chronic Disease Curve with Sean Duffy

    Bending the Chronic Disease Curve with Sean Duffy
    2026/02/11
    Not many digital health companies go public. And even fewer do so with a model designed to fix what’s truly broken in U.S. healthcare: episodic, fragmented care that fails to support the behavior change required to manage chronic disease. Omada Health CEO Sean Duffy joins Claudia to discuss the company’s journey from scrappy startup to public company—and his biggest ambition for the future: bending the nation’s chronic disease curve, both in cost and in human suffering. Claudia and Sean talk about:Omada’s “full stack” approach to chronic careWhat Omada’s IPO signals for digital health’s futureWhy GLP1s are a catalyst for behavior changeHow employers have quietly driven healthcare innovationSean says for Omada to actually shift what consumers pay out of pocket every month for their premiums we need to make big changes:“Affordability is the thing… That's the burden we're bearing as a country… And so, the only way to bring down healthcare costs are completely transformed care models. That's the only way… Thank goodness we're at a moment where those models are being supported and being scaled nationally. Thank goodness we're at a moment where technologies like AI can help add even more efficiency and help scale… Our only way out are different care models [that] leverage new technologies.”Relevant LinksAccess more info in Omada’s research libraryGet details on Omada Health’s S1 IPO Filing See the GLP-1 research Sean mentions: Omada members maintain weight loss after discontinuing GLPsGet more info on the CMS ACCESS model About Our GuestSean Duffy co-founded Omada in 2011 with the aim of merging medical trends and cutting edge technology to revolutionize health care of chronic disease as we know it. Today, he proudly serves as CEO and has been instrumental in steering Omada toward global recognition, such as being hailed a potential “medical triumph” by The New York Times, and one of Fast Company’s 50 most innovative companies in the world. A longtime devotee of healthcare and technology, Sean also founded a largely automated lifestyle business around Excel Everest, the interactive Microsoft Excel training tool he created. He formerly covered healthcare innovation as writer and editor for Medgadget, a popular medical technology blog. As CEO of Omada, Sean cares deeply about honing the organization’s exceptional products, values-driven approach to healthcare, and the innovative ways in which primary care can continue to better humanity. More recently, Sean has been spending more and more of his free time learning how to build and fly first-person view drones.SourceConnect With UsFor more information on The Other 80 please visit our website - www.theother80.com.
