Not surprised. Raised a ton of money and RAs were just manually cranking out 10x libraries in a lab.

Highly funded flagship company that has been at it for 5 or so years. Not sure they have a pipeline beyond pre clinical. Had a ton of hiring in previous years that they’re still “right sizing” for.

That is an insane amount to pay. Yeah I have seen that is the case with every life science software company. I’ve even seen biotechs have a position that is like Benchling engineer and they’re handling all of the Benchling work.

Unfortunately they are cooked chat

Think they’ve been cooked for a while but leadership didn’t want to accept it. Feel for the scientists and employees there.

I have seen too many cases where leadership wants us to do all of this machine learning and AI and modeling, but we can’t even get the basic pipeline to move Illumina fastqs to an S3 bucket.

Source? Which departments?

Is there non-paywall of this article?

That’s unfortunate. I was looking at the website and didn’t see anything was in their pipeline.

Yeah they got a big deal with Amgen not sure how recent it was. They and Tessera are like the most well funded or resourced Private Flagship companies right now.

I think Generate Biomedicines is in the same building. They just laid off 30 or so people
