Dear CHP readers:
My new book is now officially out! China Cure: The Rise of a Biotech, AI Medicine and Global Health Superpower is available globally on Amazon, and in bookshops in the UK and US.
The past few weeks of launch events and conversations in the UK have already been so brilliant, including talks at King’s College London, Oxford University and London Business School.
I’ve been so very grateful for the thoughtful questions, reflections and even personal stories that readers and attendees have shared afterwards - particularly from those working across biotech, medicine, policy, investment and China.
Please keep sharing your thoughts - I’m always keen to hear what actually resonates, as well as what you think I have missed. And if you have enjoyed it, please do consider leaving a review on Amazon or Goodreads.
I’m writing this from Heathrow airport, and am now looking forward to travelling through the US East coast over the next two weeks - I’ll be in Boston from 9-15 November and New York from 16-19 November, and I am particularly looking forward to seeing autumn colours at their best!
If you’re around, please do reach out - I’d love to catch up over coffee and talk China, health, biotech, books, or anything else.
