Anyone here investing in optogenetics companies?
I studied optogenetics on my own a few years ago, and while I found the science fascinating, there were still some pretty significant limitations at the time — efficient opsin/gene delivery, limited light penetration into deep tissue, and the invasiveness of optical fibers or other implanted light-delivery hardware.
It always felt like an incredibly interesting technology, but with a big gap between what works in the lab and what can actually scale clinically.
I haven’t followed the space closely for a while, so I’m curious how much has changed since then.
From an investment perspective, are there any companies or recent breakthroughs in optogenetics worth paying attention to?
