In high school, Reed Jobs was a summer intern in oncology labs
while his dad, the late Apple co-founder and tech icon Steve Jobs,
was battling pancreatic cancer. In his biography, Steve is quoted
as calling his son’s interest in biotech the “silver lining” of his
illness – and making cancer “non-lethal” has become Reed’s life
mission. In 2023, he spun off the venture capital firm Yosemite
from Emerson Collective (the philanthropy and family office founded
by his mother, Laurene Powell Jobs) to focus on cancer research and
biotech. Kara and Reed talk about the research-to-start up
pipeline, how he’s been influenced by both of his parents, and
whether AI, mRNA or CRISPR will be game changers for cancer
patients. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find
