Protein Tx Startup Cofounded by George Church Raises $2.1M in Seed Funding

A startup focused on developing enhanced protein therapeutics based on computational protein design and synthetic biology technologies—whose cofounders include George M. Church, Ph.D.—has emerged from stealth mode, winning $2.1 million in seed funding.GRO Biosciences said it would use the seed funding to support the buildout of bioprocess development for its platform of genomically recoded bacteria for producing therapeutic proteins with enhanced properties—including increased
