LatchBio

San Francisco, California, United States

The convergence of laboratory automation, high-throughput assays, and machine learning is moving the medium of biological discovery to silicon. Bench top experimentation will be the machine code of the biological programmer, simple instructions that are executed by robotics just as bytes are fed through a compiler. However, if the goal of creating arbitrary synthetic life is to be realized, we need to upgrade our tooling. We will need robust software that operates at the abstraction level of the organism. We will need a programming language that speaks fluently with DNA, RNA, and amino acids as native primitives. We have attempted to adapt the tooling of classical computing towards the biological domain without teaching the computer about biology. We wonder why we haven't cured cancer or reproduced Jurassic Park, meanwhile our DNA sits in computer memory as static bytecode.

What do you think of LatchBio?

A HUGE part of what early stage companies, and even late stage ones, need and get on MedStartr is honest feedback from actual patients, clinicians, hospital leaders and industry insiders. It is very easy to get tunnel vision as a founder. Please tell the team that runs this company what you think.

Clinical Benefit Potential

The potential for a project to have a large and significant impact on medical care, treatment, or prevention.

Feasibility

The likelihood that this will provide benefit for patients / care givers and that the founders can execute on their vision and plan.

Innovativeness

The distinguishing features, concept, or technology that differentiates the entry compared to others that already exist and are in widespread use.

Fundability

The reviewers' beliefs that the idea is fundable or can make it to sustainability without outside investment.

Scalability

Some great ideas are destined to failure because they are too complex or too expensive. The reviewer should consider the likelihood that a project as explained, or perhaps with some tweaks, could possibly become a worldwide solution within a reasonable time frame.

Presentation Quality

How well the team presented the idea.
