Building Korro Bio: A CEO’s Perspective on Innovation and Risk Management

LifeSciVC

Founding Vision: Harnessing RNA Editing for Transformative Medicine Korro Bio’s story began in 2018, co-founded by a remarkable group: Jean-François Formela, M.D. Academic specializing in RNA editing). The ability of modifying RNA enabled us to sidestep many of the potential risks associated with permanent DNA editing.

Q&A: New approaches are needed to find better cancer drug targets

Broad Institute

Since 2018, the Cancer Dependency Map (DepMap) Consortium , an academic-industrial partnership launched by the Broad, has uncovered several potential drug targets by systematically screening cancer models in search of genetic dependencies. Initially, there were two approaches: small hairpin RNA (shRNA)-based and now CRISPR-based experiments.

Epigenetic editing: the next generation of genetic medicine

Drug Target Review

For example, chemical modifications to the guide RNA — responsible for directing the epigenetic machinery to the region of interest — can fine-tune the intensity and stability of transcriptional changes. 2018;:15–25. RNA-guided transcriptional silencing in vivo with S. Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.

Data thinning to avoid double dipping

Broad Institute

In this talk, we are motivated by unsupervised problems that arise in the analysis of single cell RNA sequencing data, where sample splitting does not allow us to avoid double dipping. Unfortunately, in some problems, sample splitting is unattractive or impossible.

Large-Scale Differentiable Causal Discovery of Factor Graphs

Broad Institute

DCD-FG uses a Gaussian non-linear low-rank structural equation model and shows significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art methods in both simulations as well as a recent large-scale single-cell RNA sequencing data set with hundreds of genetic interventions.
