Crypto isn't a solution to this. Anything you can do with crypto with regard to funding, that is legal, you can do with paper money, checks, electronic transfer or the like. Crypto exists to solve the byzantine generals problem with untrusted actors. This solution does not, at all, exist in that problem space. We are talking about bio tech - a heavily regulated industry where the regulations are written in blood. If the goal of crypto, here, is to do away with some of those regulations then I think every person involved is actively harmful to humanity. If the goal of crypto is to work within the regulations, then paper money can do it just as well.
