Colossal Biosciences just raised $150M to bring back the woolly mammoth. Why are they doing it? The answer may surprise you: it's not to rival Jurassic Park, but actually to protect our planet from the rapid temperature rise.

“Biologists are asked to also be bioinformaticists,” says Olivia Stearn, MarCom Director at Form Bio. “And so, we're trying to automate out some of the steps that might lead to bottlenecks and longer timelines in both construct design for manufacturing and data analysis.”

“The way that we like to think about Form Bio is that it's a platform to enable synthetic biology,” explains Stearn. “Typical synbio organizations have heavy R&D investment on the science side of things, but the data science side might be under-resourced. Our platform is a one-stop shop for all things data management, visualization, analysis, workflows, and collaboration.”
