Program accomplishments

  • The Synthetic Innate Immunity program aims to develop medicines that serve as society's first line of defense against emerging viral outbreaks by taking inspiration from natural mechanisms of innate immunity. By encoding natural or engineered pattern recognition receptors PRRs and interferon-stimulated genes ISGs in DNA delivered to the respiratory tract, the program works to persistently enhance a patient's natural sense-and-respond capacity, potentially providing prophylactic protection against a broad range of respiratory viruses for months.
    Expenses $330,152

Participants attempt a fixed sequence of five laboratory obstacles that represent the core skills required to create a virus via reverse genetics with or without LLM assistance.
    Expenses $235,675
