Good luck getting funding for a Crispr startup.
- jghn 10y agoI'd imagine that they'd be willing to license the technology to a startup for a stake in the company or something like that.
- dekhn 10y agoThe bar is pretty high for anybody who wants to make a product based on in-human CRISPR: https://www.broadinstitute.org/partnerships/office-strategic-alliances-and-partnering/information-about-licensing-crispr-genome-edi https://www.broadinstitute.org/partnerships/office-strategic... In short, if you want to sell a product, Editas gets right of first refusal to license from Broad, and only if they refuse would the startup be able to proceed to license. If you just want to use CRISPR for in house research, you have to license it; no idea if the fees are prohibitive.
