Building the infrastructure to make gene edited animals commonplace
I had a crazy week in SF before Christmas, VC meetings, debates, parties, so I wrote a gonzo style account of it. It was really fun to write and its long but its a week inside my life as a founder outside the lab. Some of your favorite SF people make an appearance.
Biotech is the industry with the lowest success rate unfortunately, but at the same time trying to solve the problems that are worth solving the most.
Fewer than 15 mammals in all of history have ever had their embryos directly gene edited Never a horse. Until now. At Embryo Corp we used CRISPR to insert a jellyfish gene We live in an age where we can change the DNA of all living things yet biotech still runs like its 1987
