Bayer Co.Lab’s Post

There has never been a better time to be in #biotech like right now... You need both good science and good people to succeed. You need to know what you do not know... At the time of discovering Viagra (a repurposed drug), some people thought there is not enough market to make it viable... Just a couple of golden insights from the panel last Friday during the Nucleate Forum with Dr. Lorenz Mayr, former VP at AstraZeneca, CTO at GE HealthCare, currently a board member of The Francis Crick Institute, EIR at Hevolution Foundation and ex-Syncona Limited as well as Prof. David Roblin, the CEO of Relation Therapeutics and a Chair of Scientific Translation at The Francis Crick Institute and a former COO & CEO of Therapeutics Division of Juvenescence®, brilliantly moderated by Alya M.. As we build LinkGevity, we have already discovered a novel class of drugs and we are developing the AI-driven platform to make the drug discovery and disease predictions more efficient. The techbio/biotech future is now! Thank you Nucleate for a brilliant event and networking. #LinkGevity #Nucleate #biotech #techbio #drugdiscovery #diseaseprediction #triggeredpathways #longevity #healthyageing

As previewed in prior posts, ELEGEN has commercialized the solution for scaling personalized medicine and industrial biology. As DNA synthesis technology is stuck in the '70s limiting sequences to short, simple fragments, Elegen's technology brings us into the 21st century freeing the industry from length and complexity issues- all while getting it in your hands in 7 days! Excited to welcome Triatomic Capital and GSK into the fold as we scale our impact for patients and science. Congratulations Matthew Hill, Marc Unger, Minyong Chung, and Dan La Caze! KdT Ventures is tripling down here, after leading the last two rounds. LFG. If you aren't ordering from Elegen, your science is suffering.
