Crypto for CRISPR, a new RNAi startup, & a Nobel for AI

October 11, 2024

How does John Maraganore decide which startups to get involved in? Why are longevity-minded tech bros getting involved with a controversial CRISPR scientist? And who would you rather hang out with at the STAT Summit next week, Adam or Allison?

We discuss all that and more on this week's episode of "The Readout LOUD," STAT's biotech podcast. First, biotech veteran John Maraganore calls in to discuss his new startup, City Therapeutics, this week's Nobel Prize awards, and the nerdy accolade he just received.

We also talk to STAT's Megan Molteni about her new article on "CRISPR baby" scientist He Jiankui and his new cryptocurrency financier.
