They aspire to control the immune system. By the time a patient is sitting in front of an oncologist, cancer has evaded their immune system. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CARs) are reprogrammed immune cells, hot-wired to circumvent immune-evasion. Clinical trials for CARs against liquid tumor cancers, like acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma, have shown transformative results for patients unresponsive to standard therapy. However, limited efficacy against solid tumor cancers, life-threatening toxicities, and limited persistence are impediments to these therapies making a wider impact on cancer patients. Chimera Bioengineering solves the challenges of CARs with drug-responsive gene regulators, which allow us to re-program the "software" of the immune system. They design CAR behavior that promises to minimize toxicity, maximize efficacy and extend persistence so that CARs can lead to cures.w

Over the last decade, we have spent our lives living and breathing the silicon valley start-up life. From coding in our living room to enacting hundred-million-dollar acquisitions, we came to Silicon Valley with a vision. We envisioned a future that many wrote off as unnecessary, but today is the inevitable future of the private market economy. But while we have thrived from the unparalleled growth and opportunity in the private market, the rest of the world has not. Instead, our friends and family stand outside, looking in as class divisions have widened, and a sense of inequality has become pervasive. In this time of growth — this era of technological wonder, innovation, and entrepreneurship — how can we do better? How can we scale the most significant opportunity of our generation? By providing public access to the private market. As a society, we must make innovation accessible, because making sure that the next generation of innovators can have ownership of the future is the first step in inspiring them to take ownership of the future. Invest in access for everyone, invest in shared future, invest in progress. D/XYZ is a future for everyone. Own a piece of the future, today.
