Let's kick it off. So welcome back everyone for Day 2 of the Citi Biotech Conference. It's my great pleasure to have with me 3 distinguished management members: from Apellis, the CEO, Cedric Francois; from Editas Medicine, Charlie Albright, the Chief Scientific Officer; and of course, in the middle Raul Rodriguez, the President and CEO of Rigel Pharmaceuticals.
