Seems underrated?

The revolution in organ transplants is here thanks to gene editing.
A 62-year-old man on dialysis needed a new kidney. Doctors implanted him with a pig's kidney that had been given 69 edits to be human-compatible.
He immediately stopped needing dialysis. https://t.co/T455ZD1Kht
The entirety CAS9 field is underrated
I feel like the companies are swept aside and evaluated the same as a bio tech start up
they don’t get the media attention they deserve when trials go well (and they remarkably do)
there also aren’t that many companies in the space with huge raises. We mostly have the same few companies we had in 2019

I’m a synthetic biologist so maybe biased 👀 but I am super optimistic about therapies/tech that will be enabled by advances in gene editing!
The entire field and space of biological engineering is super underrated. I think we had a pretty cool signal with @usv sharing a biology investment thesis for the first time recently and I’m sure many more will follow!

Wild to think how far gene editing has come. If this gets scaled safely, it’ll completely change transplant medicine.
