As we come to the close of Endometriosis Awareness Month, it’s a reminder of how much we still don’t understand about the disease.

Louise King, JD, MD, Asst. Professor, Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Biology, Harvard Medical School; Director, Reproductive Bioethics, HMS Center for Bioethics, shared with us at LNIF26:

“I want someone to put me out of a job so that any patient with endometriosis doesn't need me as a surgeon anymore because we can fix it in a different way.”

She sees it every day, both as a surgeon and as a parent. There are treatments that show promise, but from both her clinical work and her experience as a parent, it’s clear we still need more research and a deeper understanding of the condition.

Accelerating the “Magic Cycle” of Health Discovery From Science to Reality

We are living in a golden age of discovery where the distance between breakthrough research and real-world impact is shrinking faster than ever before.

In this forward-looking session, Yossi Matias, PhD, VP at Google and Head of Google Research, explored how Google thinks about this acceleration through what he calls the “Magic Cycle.”

From AI-driven insights to scalable global solutions, the conversation highlighted how integrating research, technology, and real-world application can dramatically compress timelines, turning years of progress into months.

“Now, just to give a sense of the kind of geospatial models that we have, we've been working with that for many years. For example, we have a model for floods which enable us to provide flood prediction up to in 150 countries, covering 2 billion people up to seven days in advance.”
