Reasoning With Cells

Last week, we launched rBio, a model that bridges AI reasoning and cellular biology and empowers scientists to ask complex questions about gene interactions in plain language.

What We’re Listening To: New Center for Pediatric CRISPR Cures

We recently announced a new partnership with the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) to fund the Center for Pediatric CRISPR Cures. The Center will advance on-demand gene-editing cures for children with severe genetic diseases. Our co-founder and co-CEO, Priscilla Chan, sat down with Jennifer Doudna, IGI director, and cardiologist Eric Topol on the “Ground Truths” podcast to discuss the news.
