Panna Sharma: Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us this afternoon to hear about our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 results and corporate progress. As many of you have heard me say in the past, computational and AI-driven approaches are increasing their presence and usage at both large and emerging pharma companies for all facets of drug discovery and development. Lantern's leadership in the innovative use of AI and machine learning to transform costs and timelines in the development of precision oncology therapies should yield significant returns for investors and patients as our industry matures and adopts an AI-centric and data-first approach to drug development. 2023 was a transformational year for Lantern Pharma across many measures.

We launched multiple clinical trials for our using our AI-guided drug candidates. We had multiple peer-reviewed publications and posters for our drug candidates and for our radar AI platform. Our AI platform advanced, reaching over 60 billion data points last year and now is on the road to reaching over 100 billion this year. With significant and efficient expansion of our clinical infrastructure and operations team, this allows us to efficiently move our trials forward and maintain control over the data and operations of our clinical assets. We are also advancing a very exciting new company, Starlight Therapeutics, which is entirely focused on CNS cancers and an area where there has been no single approved therapy as monotherapy in nearly 18 years.
