Description
In this episode, we share an episode of the brand new a16z Live podcast feed called “It’s Time to Heal”—a live conversation on audio/drop in chat app Clubhouse every Monday at 5pm PT, covering the latest trends and future of bio and healthcare with special guests and entrepreneurs, hosted by a16z bio partners Vineeta Agarwala, Jorge Conde, Vijay Pande, and Julie Yoo.
Last week, a16z Bio General Partners and a16z cofounder Marc Andreessen talked with guest Nihkil Krishnan, comedian and author known for his Out-of-Pocket Substack newsletter and Slack community for healthcare builders, award winning children’s book, If You Give a Mouse Metformin, and past endeavors at TrialSpark and as healthcare analyst CB Insights. The conversation is all about the things that make you go “hmmm” in healthcare—the stuff we're all thinking but don't talk about, the places where exciting and surprising things are happening, and the places where you have to wonder why it works that way.

Journal Club: Turning a Toxin into a Genome Editing Tool: In this episode of Journal Club we discuss the development of the first genome editing enzyme capable of performing precision edits to the mitochondrial genome. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome cause over 150 different human diseases, but none of our existing gene editing tools have been able to edit this DNA. This newly developed tool can be used to create better models of these diseases and and perhaps one day be used to treat them with gene therapy. by Raising Health
