"some worry that Silicon Valley's penchant for technology and marketing might not be compatible with medical research”

I would say that a good portion of medical research IS technology and marketing, for better or worse.

Actually the "might not be compatible with medical research" is the great part about it. Life sciences research often tends to be short-sighted, plagued by the egos of scientists, the politics of scientific publishing and the fight for government funding. I hope YC chooses the "incompatible" route.
