1/ THIS was an email sent 9yrs ago—from an unknown scientist with entrepreneurial ambitions.
We didn’t reply
9yrs later we + others (including Bill Gates, Jim Simons , sovereign wealth funds + top biotech VCs)—have put over $250M in companies @ipeikon has helped start with Lux

5/ Here are some excerpts from exclusive Lux series—
explaining the science + tech + people behind Kallyope...
“The gut-brain axis is the bi-directional communication between the gut + the brain. It’s composed of neural circuits + hormonal circuits...”

6/ The brilliant @ThornberryNancy explaining the science + tech of cutting edge venture: Kallyope.
“We’re leveraging a # of advanced technologies—to create a comprehensive map of gut-brain circuits: single-cell sequencing, organoids, optogenetics, chemogenetics...”

7/ “There’s no question that important aspects of physiology are mediated by the gut-brain axis—there’s a biochemical basis for things like a GUT FEELING, for example.”

8/ “In the same way that I might sit down at a piano and hit a note and it produces a sound or a chord...and it produces a different sounds, the idea is that if you can use gut-restricted molecules, that you are basically targeting different notes that you can play in the brain.”
