☆ Carbon capture: Scientists say the slime in your dishwasher could unlock a solution to global warming
  + stars: | 2024-10-23 | by ( Issy Ronald | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —Scientists have scoured the depths of the ocean and outer space for microbes to help slow global warming. “Unusual colors, smells, textures, and other data” can help scientists identify areas of interest, Tierney said. The World Economic Forum named microbial carbon capture as one of the world’s top emerging technologies in a June report, but the technology is still in its infancy, with companies running pilot-scale programs to test commercial viability. Carbon capture — which includes a range of technology from huge vacuum-type facilities able to suck climate pollution from the air to carbon-absorbing sponges — remains controversial as a climate solution. “That’s why these technologies make sense in places where such energy is available in a sustainable manner.”The potential uses of extremophile microbes in biotech extend beyond carbon capture, according to Tierney.

☆ Biotech startup Seed Health is betting its profits on AI-powered medical science
  + stars: | 2024-04-11 | by ( Natalie Rose Goldberg | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
On Thursday, Seed Health launched CODA, a computational biology platform funded by its consumer business profitability. Seed Health has been in the business of microbiome scientific breakthroughs since its founding in 2015, but its biggest success to-date may have been becoming profitable as a bioscience startup. Katz's co-founder and co-CEO at Seed Health, Raja Dhir, said CODA and the accompanying data set will help to standardize microbiome science methods, which has long been an issue in the field. CODA's first applications are in metabolic health, brain health, longevity, and menopause, research areas chosen because they have already been identified as areas of human health where early CODA data displayed the strongest evidence. Seed Health has been working on several efforts around pioneering microbiome science for human and planetary health, and many in the field believe the approach is destined to have wider applications.

Funding for biotech companies soared in 2021 to nearly $47 billion — a record for the industry. Insider rounded up all the biotech pitch decks we've published, from those seeking early-stage funding to presentations for late-stage rounds, that have helped companies raise money from investors. Here's the 24-slide pitch deck the company used to raise $175 million from investors like Leaps by Bayer. Here is the 24-slide pitch deck the company used to raise $120 million and prepare for regulatory approval in Japan. In late-stage funding rounds, the investors might also be different or used to backing bigger companies.
