Could you build this?
No FinalDose is developing programmable molecular biotechnology and cancer therapeutics, which is fundamentally a wet-lab biology and clinical science challenge.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires molecular biology laboratories, CRISPR/oligonucleotide synthesis, targeted DNA-cleavage biochemistry, and extensive in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical trials. It demands teams of oncology researchers, biochemists, and geneticists, backed by tens of millions of dollars in biotech laboratory infrastructure and regulatory approvals.
