Unblock research bottlenecks with non-profit start-ups
‘Focused research organizations’ can take on mid-scale projects that don’t get tackled by academia, venture capitalists or government labs.
These ‘focused research organizations’ are taking on gaps in scientific discovery
Schmidt Futures—founded by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy—is spinning out small organizations to make advances in synthetic biology and brain mapping that the current research process isn’t structured to work on.
The POSSUM Toolkit
The number one reason for a promising microbe to be dropped is the lack of basic tools and protocols. And the absolute most basic tool - the one that can rescue an organism from oblivion - is a plasmid.
