Conceivable Life Sciences

Faster than a Velociraptor? This bipedal unit's velocity exceeds 46 km/h; surpassing average human sprint capabilities by 31.4%. KAIST engineers implemented biomimetic tail stabilization, enabling pitch compensation across varied terrain obstacles without reducing forward momentum. The Raptor's under-actuated leg mechanics demonstrate efficient energy transfer, converting power input to forward thrust with minimal control overhead. Using tethered power delivery, the biped achieves speed similar to prehistoric velociraptors. ;) The locomotion system's dynamic stability emerges from coordinated tail-leg synchronization, maintaining equilibrium at velocities that match urban vehicle speeds.

When my son sent photos from his 6,000-kilometer trek across the North American wilderness, I didn't expect to find the perfect metaphor for Conceivable Life Sciences's organizational structure. But there it was, standing tall amongst the clouds: The Fire Tower. My son is a solo, ultralight backpacker and he's hiked from Maine down to Georgia on the Appalachian trail, then the Continental Divide from Canada to New Mexico—more than 6,000 kilometers with a base weight pack of three kilograms. He would occasionally send me pictures of fire towers that are scattered around the mountains, structures that exist throughout the world. I just find them beautiful aesthetically—and I'd love to stay in one—but I also find them beautiful from an engineering perspective. As a trained structural engineer, they are iterative perfection. Build one. Improve on it. Build another. Improve on it. Until thousands have been built to make sure we can manage forest fires. Still, when I look at these very slender components and how they are optimized, some in compression, some in tension, connected by these joints that communicate various stresses and strengths among the parts, it reminded me of what we're building at Conceivable Life Sciences. We started at the very ground level with a tough foundation, a strong culture, and a clear mission to help millions of people achieve the dream of becoming parents. Early on we built that first level with an exploratory group of engineers, software designers, robotics experts, and embryologists working tightly together to build a proof of concept. Then we started building the company a little further, adding critical components addressing regulatory quality, product direction, and defining roles for key team members. And as we move forward we'll be preparing to add field engineering teams. So lots of growth. Now when I think about our tower, I recognize that everyone with us today is a critical part of our operation. While we follow a discipline of building lean, we're also building stout so we can withstand any headwinds that come up. So we all have a vital role and there's a need for essential communication at every connection to make sure each member knows what the other is doing so we can transfer stress and load, responsibility, and most importantly, trust to our adjoining team members. And when I think about a Conceivable tower like this, it’s important to remember that if a member is weak or missing, then we're at risk of the whole damn thing falling down. As we move forward with clinical operations next year—and work toward our goal of opening 100 labs globally within the next decade—it’s essential that each of us understands our role, collaborates effectively, and supports one another to successfully execute these audacious plans. #IVF #IVFAutomation #automation #team #biotechnology #firetower

These pictures will pass to history. Nuno Costa Borges representing Embryotools S.L. advising and overseen the preclinical validation of AURA to the highest standards in Conceivable Life Sciences R&D center in México. AURA is the first standardized IVF laboratory due to its nature as an assistant for embryologists. Thank you to the research team for your unstoppable resilience, professionalism and for putting your heart into this mission Carla Patricia Barragán Álvarez, Karen Aleriano, Sofia Anahi Real Covarrubias and Regina Curiel. Especial thanks also to probably the most experienced embryologists and scientists on earth, Jacques Cohen and Mina Alikani. AURA is real, is here, and its beautiful.

One of the unique charms of ASRM is the reconnecting—catching up with familiar faces, swapping new insights, and sharing professional developments.  But every so often, something disrupts the usual rhythm, bringing fresh perspectives. That was certainly true for the conversation Conceivable Life Sciences hosted with Representative Diana DeGette, who stands to become the most influential voice in Congress on healthcare should Democrats retake the House. As Chairwoman of the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, her role would include oversight of key agencies like the FDA, NIH, and CDC, wielding influence over every healthcare dollar spent—a full 20% of the U.S. economy. Diana’s knowledge, charm, and pragmatic approach to policy making made for a compelling dialogue. In a wide-ranging discussion, she reflected on her nearly two-decade engagement with IVF policy and weighed in on one of today’s hottest topics: expanding IVF accessibility through OBGYN involvement. Her insight into how such partnerships could broaden care sparked meaningful dialogue with some of the industry’s top thought leaders. It was a powerful conversation with one of the world’s leading health policy shapers, shared with good friends and brilliant minds including: Barb Collura RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association David Sable Dr. Diego Ezcurra Merck Lisa Fawcett CooperSurgical Libby Horne EMD Serono, Inc.
