In this episode of The Top Line, Fierce’s Chris Hayden speaks with Foresight Diagnostics co-founders Dr. Jake Chabon and Dr. Max Diehn about how their company is delivering the next generation of minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in cancer care.
Born from research at Stanford University, Foresight’s PhasED-Seq technology delivers ultra-sensitive detection—down to parts per ten million—enabling clinicians to identify microscopic traces of cancer that traditional imaging misses. The discussion explores how Foresight’s MRD platform, CLARITY, can have the ability to support more confident decision-making, from determining curative success in early-stage cancers to guiding consolidation treatment in lymphoma.
Chabon and Diehn highlight the company’s biopharma collaborations, clinical trial integration, and evidence-driven approach to guideline inclusion. They also look ahead to a future where MRD testing becomes central to oncology surveillance, accelerating therapy approvals and complementing genomic and digital pathology tools to advance precision medicine.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
