Jesse brings a rare perspective to the conversation: having built data systems at Google where engineers control the data collection function end to end, before moving into biotech, where the biology does what it wants and bench scientists, not engineers, generate the data. The result is a grounded, pragmatic take on one of the most consequential and underappreciated questions in life sciences right now: as bio foundation models fundamentally change the value equation for experimental data, are biotech labs structured to capture that value? Jesse argues the answer is usually no and that the fix is less technical than most assume. It doesn't require a production-grade data pipeline or a cloud architecture. It requires lightweight, human-readable standard operating procedures, clear expectations between computational and wet lab teams, and a data strategy designed not just for the questions you're asking today, but for the ones you don't yet know you'll need to ask. What you’ll learn in this episode: >> Why the transition from tech to biotech requires a fundamental reset of assumptions about data infrastructure and why the biggest difference isn't technical, it's organizational. >> How bio foundation models have flipped the value equation for experimental data by reducing the cost of organizing it while dramatically increasing the potential return >> How the strategic value of proprietary data is evolving in the biotech ecosystem, from Tahoe Therapeutics building an acquirable single-cell dataset to Eli Lilly's Lowe lab using data as currency for partnerships >…","meta_description":"In this episode of Data in Biotech, host Ross Katz sits down with Jesse Johnson, founder of Merelogic, a software consulting firm specializing in data inf…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2572,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/data-in-biotech-6628050/episodes/data-as-a-moat-why-biotech-s-most-valuable-asset-is-buried-in-a-hard-drive/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/data-in-biotech-6628050/data-as-a-moat-why-biotech-s-most-valuable-asset-is-buried-in-a-hard-drive.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
