This episode of the special pharmaphorum podcast series features a conversation with Unity Stoakes, President and Co-founder of Startup Health and Advisory Board Member at The NeuroTech Collider Lab, UC Berkeley.

With more than three decades at the intersection of technology, science, and design, Stoakes reflects on the transformative potential of this moment in global health—and the role Frontiers Health plays within it.

For him, the essence of Frontiers Health lies in its community and intentionally designed environment: a space where meaningful connections happen, ideas evolve, and collaboration fuels progress. It’s this unique combination—people, energy, and purpose—that creates the distinctive “magic” of the event.

At a time when innovation is accelerating, and the challenges facing humanity are more urgent than ever, Stoakes sees an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future of health—together.
