The Wall Street Journal’s 2024 Health Forum in Boston recently showcased the technology, business, and policy regulations that are impacting the health care industry. With a massive disruption in the medical weight loss industry, new treatments that permanently alter patient DNA, and the ever-present COVID response and its aftermath, this year's conference had plenty of intrigue.

For investors, there were several publicly-traded companies who took the stage — including CRISPR Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CRSP), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRTX), Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) and Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA).

7investing CEO Simon Erickson joins JT Street to break down the conference and review the key storylines investors should be following if they want to capitalize on the current disruptions in the medical investing landscape.
