At 23 I turned down a PhD at Cambridge and walked away from a peptide spinout I’d spent the previous year building to start my own company.
I think your risk tolerance will be this fucked up too when you almost got kidnapped as a kid over business 😅
We think there’s a fundamentally different way to design drugs. Don’t start by designing a good binder. Go straight for what will control what the protein does.
We’re going after some of biology’s hardest targets and diseases we still can’t cure.
First post on the wild idea we’re after here. Tell me why we’re wrong :)

Fascinating insights at #IACGT on overcoming two major challenges in CD7-directed CAR-T cell therapy — fratricide and T-cell aplasia.
Dr. OH Burnice from Singapore discussed emerging strategies to address these barriers and improve the feasibility of CD7 CAR-T for T-cell malignancies.
Advances like these could help expand the potential of CAR-T beyond B-cell cancers.
