Human stories behind innovation in healthcare and biotech before outcomes are known.
The Show
Before the Cure is a show and podcast about what drives people to push forward innovative science before the outcomes are certain.
Each episode is a focused conversation with clinicians, founders, caregivers, researchers, and families.
We talk about decisions. Tradeoffs. Risk. Doubt. Responsibility.
What it takes to lead when the data is incomplete and the stakes are personal.
This is not a pitch platform.
It is a serious conversation about how progress actually happens.
Why it Exists?
Breakthroughs do not start with headlines or approvals.
They start with a diagnosis.
A loss.
A near miss.
A moment when someone realizes the system is not working.
We are living in a time of extraordinary scientific progress.
But progress alone does not change lives.
Trust, coordination, courage does.
Before the Cure exists to document
when the path forward is unclear
and someone chooses to move anyway.
Because what happens then, shapes everything that comes after.
Hosts
Timothy Wheeler

Documentary filmmaker and founder of Stories That Save Lives. Timothy’s work focuses on humanizing complex science and innovation, partnering with clinicians, founders, and biotech teams to shape narratives leaders can stand behind.
David Tsai
Biotech Operator, Startup Advisor, Speaker & Patient Advocate
A seasoned leader and operator within the industry with experience running complex trials from small biotechs to large pharma with a focus on novel genetic medicines. David’s deep knowledge across the drug development lifecycle enables him to additionally serve as a strategic advisor to executives and founders navigating the build-out of emerging biotechs and AI-native tech startups within clinical operations.
Together, they bring complementary lenses.
Storytelling and systems.
Emotion and execution.
This work is not abstract to either of them.
Both hosts have been personally shaped by the healthcare system in different ways, which is part of why these conversations matter to them.
