Despite having roots in Italy, Luca Giani & his co-founders chose to build Ilios Therapeutics in Cambridge –to them, the choice was obvious. 💡 Here, they've successfully leveraged the connections & resources from both the LabCentral and Harvard Innovation Labs communities. Beyond that, their proximity to accelerators such as MassChallenge, MassBioDrive and Nucleate helped them form their lean, mean team. 💪 Want to hear more of Luca's chat with Johannes Fruehauf?

🔍 Eye spy LabCentral lab space 🔎 Congratulations to Floris Engelhardt, John Vroom, Mark Bathe and the whole Kano Therapeutics team! It has been a pleasure to watch your company grow and move through our spaces. We can't wait to see what this latest achievement brings for your team. 🎉 #innovation #biotech #lifesciences #genomicmedicine #entrepreneurship
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 $𝟳.𝟭𝟱𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: 𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀🧬 Thrilled to announce our investment in Kano Therapeutics, a cutting-edge Massachusetts Institute of Technology spinout that is redefining the landscape of gene insertion therapies. Kano’s innovative approach leverages the flexibility of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to improve the delivery and efficacy of genetic medicines. Gene insertion therapies have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of inherited diseases and enhance the effectiveness of cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune conditions. However, the rigidity of traditional double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has posed significant challenges in packaging and delivery. Kano Therapeutics addresses this issue by utilizing ssDNA, which is 50 times more flexible than dsDNA. This flexibility not only facilitates better integration into target cells but also reduces cellular toxicity and enhances editing accuracy. Kano’s groundbreaking work is set to unlock new possibilities in the field of non-viral genetic therapies. By focusing on optimizing the DNA payload rather than just the delivery mechanisms, Kano is setting a new standard in the industry. Their partnership with Novo Nordisk and the $7.15 million seed funding round, co-led by Engine Ventures and Vsquared Ventures, underscores the enormous potential of their approach. Congratulations to Floris Engelhardt, John Vroom and the entire Kano team! Read more about their incredible technology on Endpoints (link in comments).

What happens when you ask the 'obvious question?' For Luca Giani, one simple question resulted in the conception of Ilios Therapeutics. 🔬💡 Catch the full episode of The Dish at : https://lnkd.in/eKDtwVZ6 Ilios's novel approach to #neurodegenerative diseases, which includes generating first-in-class small molecules that modulate protein misfolding, oxidative stress and neuro-inflammation, has piqued the interest of many –including StartUp Health's Alzheimer's Moonshot initiative. Shortly after filming this episode, Ilios Therapeutics joined the Alzheimer's Moonshot initiative. This initiative, backed by major players like the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and Gates Ventures, is designed to foster collaboration among startups, researchers, and industry leaders to create transformative breakthroughs in #Alzheimers treatment. In another moment of LabCentral serendipity, the CIO of StartUp Health is our friend Phyllis Ferrell. Phyllis has been an instrumental resource in helping organize our upcoming Inaugural 'Mind Matters' Science Symposium. Keep your eyes peeled in the upcoming weeks to learn more about this exciting event! #biotech #lifesciences #startup #entrepreneur #innovation
