Some of the most underinvested areas in frontier biology that could accelerate civilizational progress: - Cheap, large-scale DNA synthesis (writing entire chromosomes or full organisms) - Real-time, non-destructive RNA sequencing in living cells - Highly accurate AI-powered polygenic scores for complex traits (disease risk, cognition, longevity) → enabling full genome design - Ultra-precise, multiplex genome editing (far beyond CRISPR) with minimal off-target effects, scalable across millions of cells - Safe, efficient, tissue-specific in vivo delivery systems - Safe and effective human germline engineering - Accelerated clinical trials via testing on decedents (with consent) - Next-gen human enhancement: muscle, cognition, mood — beyond GLP-1s - Ectogenesis / artificial wombs Who’s actually building in these areas?

What's bigger, GLP1s or AI?




fuck yes we’re getting claude designer drugs anthropic just bought an ai drug design company for $400M, soon claude will be able to: - identify your medical issue - design a drug to cure it. - experiment and manufacture the drug - deliver that drug to you pharmaceutical R&D is worth $250B alone. dario wants to automate all of it this means cheaper healthcare (and insurance!) + MORE EFFECTIVE treatments the team they acquired are beasts, particularly nathan frey… - he’s won awards for his work on protein sequencing + worked with NVIDIA on their bio AI efforts so now we have google deepmind and anthropic working on AI-powered drug treatment i give <5 years till we have cures for 90% of ailments

The TIGIT catastrophe‼️ 30 agents 220 trials ~50,000 patients >$3B+ invested 0 approvals. This is herding in drug development. In BMJ Oncol we examine why it happens, the hidden costs, and what needs to change. It’s already happening again in ADCs... 🔗:bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/5/1/e0…

The peptide hypocrisy ‘Health’ commerce in full effect Eli Lilly sources some API, active pharmaceutical ingredient From China while lobbying against compounders using Chinese sourced ingredients Then committed $7 billion to acquire a Chinese peptide company JRE #2469


BREAKING: Anthropic Acquires 9-Person Biotech Startup For $400 Million >be coefficient bio >founded the startup 6 months ago >build AI platform for biotech >less than 10 employees >acquired by anthropic for ~$400 million > = $40+ million per head Coefficient Bio was building an AI platform for biotech tasks: planning drug R&D, managing clinical regulatory strategy, identifying new drug opportunities Team is joining Anthropic’s healthcare life sciences group led by Eric Kauderer-Abrams. Anthropic is building specialized tools for industries that actually pay enterprise rates: >software engineering >cybersecurity >life sciences >healthcare >finance Meanwhile OpenAI is buying media companies to control narratives LMAO
