What mysteries might a time-lapse of a single cell unlock, and how might it transform our understanding of disease and the body s most granular processes over the long term and in real time, to fuel new medicines? On Thursday, a powerhouse academic trio of the Allen Institute, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative CZI , and the University of Washington announced the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology SEAHub to take on that exact groundbreaking work: a collaborative to develop biotechnologies that create a historical biological record down to the single cell level and give scientists clues on when and how to intervene against burgeoning diseases.Read Full Story
