It depends on whose perspective you're talking about. For patients, I think access to biologics or access to specialists in psoriasis is maybe across the US one of the major, you know, unmet needs. For providers, I think it's having a tool or having even studies to predict which biologics will work best for which patient populations. Right now, basically people just use their conventional wisdom and their experience, which is obviously highly variable, to determine which biologic they'll choose for which person.

Obviously marketing plays a role here. And so for providers, that is a huge unmet need is to have a predictive tool to know based on someone's immunology or someone's, you know, family history, their immunology, which agent will be best for them.
