Boston has its first robotic restaurant, Spyce. Why didn't I think of this. 4 MIT grads figured it out with celebrity chef Daniel Boulud. #robot…

Today, X, The Moonshot Factory quietly unveiled A-Life, a project that brings biomanufacturing into the AI era. It may sound niche, but it’s one of the most transformative projects I’ve ever worked on (and that includes Calico Life Sciences, Google’s effort to understand aging and lifespan). Here’s why: We now have a clear way to use living cells, like yeast and bacteria, to produce materials we currently make from petroleum and waste-heavy processes. Look around you: the textiles in your clothes, the packaging of your snacks, the medicines and supplements you take. All of these could be made cheaper, cleaner, and with less waste through biomanufacturing. What’s new is that the team built a set of AI tools specifically for biology that makes this possible at scale. For years, making biomanufacturing cost-competitive has been described as a $30 trillion holy grail for the industry. A-Life is the first time we’ve seen a viable path forward. 🔗 Introducing A-Life: https://lnkd.in/ggrYuUCS For me, collaborating on this was a full-circle ikigai moment, bringing together Google, wonderful teammates, molecular biology, and company-building all at once. Always say yes to those rare moments! Huge thanks to Relly, Jodi, Odd, and the whole team for making this such a fun version of ‘work.’ In my University of Oxford lab days, just trying to keep fibroblast cells alive, I would have been stoked to see this future taking shape.

At Columbia Technology Ventures, we have the great privilege of seeing the life-saving and life-improving innovations when they are first emerging from Columbia’s scientific research labs, then watching them grow over time. In just the past five years, we’ve received over 1,950 inventions from Columbia’s amazing researchers and innovators, which have led to over 600 licenses and option agreements with industry and venture capital to bring these inventions to market. We've seen over 90 IP-backed startups launch over the past five years, and the market has proven we aren't the only ones who are confident in the potential of their technologies: Columbia’s startups have raised over $3 billion in follow-on funding, at a collective valuation of over $9 billion! These startups include potential cures for cancer, heart disease, epilepsy, and ALS; novel semiconductors that could dramatically increase America’s computing speed; new generations of batteries for energy storage; and so much more. Thanks to Columbia’s brilliant researchers, these successes benefit many stakeholders: the startup employees, their investors, companies that acquire the startups, but most importantly consumers and patients everywhere. But it all starts with an invention or discovery made after countless experiments, challenges, and analysis. Society has benefitted from Columbia researchers' incredibly important work, and our office continues to be grateful for their efforts. As always, you can browse Columbia's innovations and see the full breadth of our portfolio at https://lnkd.in/eR7_MUdb. And our latest newsletter can be found here - https://lnkd.in/eV4tYRVY
