We are building better life & better worlds through our automated scalable embryo editing platform with the goal of artificial biological intelligence by 2030

Embryo gene editing, horses and cyberpunk Balenciaga dress at Deep Tech NY Thanks @abemurray and Alley corp for the invite. It was good to see all the NY Deep Tech homies show up.

Love the fit descriptions for meetings and events!
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.

Going to be in SF this week for the Substack debate who should I meet to talk to about gene editing unicorns?

1517 re-upped their investment and I blew it on horses. Total accident. Didn't expect them to be that fast? In my defense, 1517 keeps enabling my crazy ideas. Meet Jolene mother of unicorns

Biology as an industry is massively underappreciated for its scale, value and success because when people say biotech they mean pharma and not using technology and genetics for agriculture The pig industry alone is equal to the global smartphone market
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.

These are Cat embryos right before we used CRISPR gene editing to knockout the primary allergen gene Fel D1 on our quest to create a true hypoallergenic cat at Embryo Corp (implants soon)

Weve been using the Colossal "Woollly mouse" as a kind of benchmark for our gene editing techniques Except we are trying to do it the hard way by CRISPR gene editing the embryos while still inside the womb and not killing any mice in the process Getting close

The first of many firsts from @josiezayner and @WeBuildLife
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

Everyone in tech talks about building unicorns. We’re literally making one The first directly gene edited horse embryos in history. The initial step. Fluorescent jellyfish gene(GFP) inserted into MC1R at zygote stage using multiple techniques

We proudly fund SINGULAR people and companies, like @josiezayner In the ideal, every venture investment should be have a chance of adding a completely new capability to our species.
Another AI App launch @WeBuildLife we are literally building the future of life. We have made tangible progress & gene edited real living animals. Done things literally no one else in the world has done That i need to fight for attention of investors with these mfers is wild

I have always wanted to do human gene editing. Every scientist does. If they say otherwise they are lying Back in 2018, when @Jiankui_He gene edited babies. I was amazed. I was one of the few people who came out in public in support of him & even wrote an op-ed in @statnews

Chinese officials blocked @CathyTie from reuniting with her husband @Jiankui_He over the weekend. It's a gene editing, romantic tragedy for the ages, and we have the scoop here
