Eric Kelsic

Under Eric’s leadership Dyno has raised over $100M in VC financing, including a 2021 Series A led by a16z, partnered with leading gene therapy developers including Astellas, Roche, and Sarepta, and with technology companies including NVIDIA. Prior to founding Dyno, Eric led a team to develop the technology underlying Dyno’s artificial intelligence powered capsid engineering platform in George Church’s lab at the Wyss Institute of Harvard Medical School. There he measured the first comprehensive fitness landscape of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid protein and co-discovered the AAV MAAP gene. He earned a PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University and a BS in Physics from Caltech.

Every major AI advance was built on massive amounts of data. ChatGPT was built on top of the Internet, new coding agents train on millions of public codebases, and AlphaFold leveraged the Protein DataBank. Learn about the ways that synthetic biologists are leveraging the combination of DNA sequencing and synthesis to fuel new modeling advances.

From Data to Delivery: Harnessing AI-Driven Tools for Next-Generation Gene Therapies
10:35 AM

-

10:45 AM

A new era in synthetic biology is unfolding as AI, genome sequencing, and DNA synthesis technologies come together to unlock breakthroughs once considered unattainable. In gene therapy, AI is poised to address one of the most pressing and costly hurdles of the field: efficient and targeted gene delivery. This talk will examine how advanced, AI-enabled approaches to synthetic biology for gene delivery are transcending the limitations of naturally occurring vectors, broadening tissue targeting to organs such as the eye, muscle, and brain, and accelerating the path from concept to clinical success. Attendees will gain actionable insights into harnessing these AI-driven tools to improve patient access, reduce costs, and usher in a new generation of transformative genomic medicines.
