August 2022 Progress Update

blog.newlimit.com

We’re continuing to make progress toward running our first experiments.

In August we:

  • Welcomed Katie Gipe to the team, and one other scientist who will be joining in October (as yet unnamed!)

  • Hosted our first team offsite in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

  • Set up our first fully operational lab

  • Ran our first experiment and started building gene libraries for our initial discovery campaigns

  • Our first human T cell samples arrived, ready to be reprogrammed.

  • Started our first modeling tasks, reproducing state-of-the-art methods for gene perturbation prediction, collecting relevant datasets, and designing data-preprocessing tools in various repos.

  • Published our operating plan (in the open) for candidates to read. We’re planning to operate much more in the open than a traditional biotech would - we hope it helps attract the right talent.

As usual, if you’re excited by our mission please visit our careers site and apply.

First human T-cells arrived, ready to be reprogrammed.
Some early experiment rough notes - just to get the platform off the ground.
We have corporate internet (this takes months to install!!)
