TWO PATHS TO DESKTOP GENETICSPRODUCTS & SERVICES DATA

Edward Perello
This is what we sell. All of this creates data.

@EdwardPerello | @DesktopGenetics 4

TEACH AI TO PERFORM GENETIC SURGERYMACHINE INTELLIGENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO EDIT THE GENOME SAFELY

Edward Perello
The data feeds the machine. INTRODUCE concept of AI for genomic surery.INFORM people that AI is the only way to do genome surgery

who is the audience? I feel like a nice comparison would be to put side by side the CRISPR system and a pair of scissors for example.

@EdwardPerello | @DesktopGenetics

WHY EDIT GENOMES?Research & development → Clinical interventions

- Degenerative blindness- Custom disease models

- Humanization of heart valves- Swine fever resistance

- HIV eradicated in vitro- Immuno-oncology

- Clinical trials cured cancer - Clinical trials cured HIV

@EdwardPerello | @DesktopGenetics

WHY START A BUSINESS IN THIS SPACE?Huge biotechnology, life science and clinical prospects

PERFORM GENETIC SURGERY WITH AIDesign CRISPR for every lab, teach our algorithms, go to the clinic

Edward Perello
Speak aspirationally about the mission. Make them feel it.
