A treatment for this toddlers rare genetic condition was in sight. Then the pandemic hit. – Vox.com

Amber Freeds singular mission is to help scientists develop a treatment for her son. But the pandemic has put the success of that mission into question.

Freed is a mother to twins Riley and Maxwell, who just turned 3 this year. Riley is a healthy toddler. But Maxwell has a rare genetic disease that has led to delays in his development. Hes nonverbal, and he has a movement disorder. The condition responsible for these symptoms is called SLC6A1, after the gene thats affected, and Maxwell was only the 34th person in the world to get this diagnosis. if left untreated, the disease could soon cause debilitating epilepsy.

When doctors broke the news of the diagnosis to Freed, they told her there was no treatment or cure for her son, and that her family would have to prepare to live with Maxwells condition. But Amber didnt accept that.

Every instinct in my body said, Youll have your whole lifetime to cry for yourself, Freed said. At this exact moment, you put your feelings and sadness aside. This isnt about you. This is about Maxwell. And you fight like the third monkey on the loading deck to Noahs Ark, and its starting to rain.

This is how Freeds quest began. She taught herself microbiology, so she could understand her sons condition. She lobbied scientists to take up the research, which wasnt on their radar given how rare the disease is. She convinced scientists in China to make genetically engineered mice that could be sent to the US and act as a model of Maxwells disease. And she fundraised a necessary step given the high cost of the gene therapy research.

All told, shes raised more than $1 million. What were doing will be the building blocks of all gene therapies to come after us, Freed told Arielle Duhaime-Ross on an episode of Reset in January.

Even though she was racing against time, she was optimistic that Maxwell would be treated this year, as experiments on the genetically modified mice were about to begin.

Then the pandemic hit.

Covid-19 has brought most non-coronavirus medical research to a halt, and closed labs.

I never anticipated or thought something like this could happen, Freed said, but also it was a state of devastation like I felt when Maxwell was originally diagnosed that lightning hit us. The unthinkable happened. And here, lightning has hit again. A black swan event for the world that no one could have anticipated.

Freed came back to Reset to talk about the impact of the pandemic on Maxwell and her family as well as rare disease research as a whole. Listen to the full episode below.

The episode also features a conversation with BuzzFeed science reporter Dan Vergano, who first wrote about Ambers story and who talks about how the closure has impacted thousands of other kids with rare diseases, as well as clinical trials for other types of medical research.

$30 billion hedge fund’s next bet is on biopharmaceuticals – ModernHealthcare.com

Chicago hedge fund firm Citadel is known for buying and selling stocks, bonds and derivatives across public markets. But lately it's been pumping millions of dollars into private biotech companies.

The firm's Surveyor Capital fund has invested about $150 million in 17 such companies, mainly in the biopharmaceutical field, since February 2018.

That venture investing is a small portion of billionaire Ken Griffin's $30 billion Citadel business, but it's part of a striking and expanding departure from his 30-year focus on public markets. Placing capital with young biotech companies can be risky, but Surveyor has captured big gains in initial public offerings. Those types of returns have increasingly attracted investors to the biotech sector over the past decade, and that wave of interest is likely to keep climbing with the new hunt for coronavirus treatments.

"We're really at a significant growth phase in biotech in terms of new treatments hitting the market," says Sean Nolan, the former CEO of Chicago-based AveXis, a gene therapy company that combats a rare genetic disease in children. "The need created by the COVID virus is going to spur opportunities in biotech to develop treatments and vaccines."

While Surveyor isn't in coronavirus-specific startups, Seattle research firm Pitchbook has detailed the breadth and depth of Citadel's investing in the area, echoing press statements from fledgling biotech companies that have received the money. Citadel spokeswoman Megan Ingersoll declines to comment.

Surveyor, with 175 investment professionals, is one of a handful of Citadel funds investing worldwide, pursuing equity strategies to deliver returns for Griffin, clients and firm employees. So far this year, Citadel's flagship Wellington fund has achieved a 10% gain through April, according to a person familiar with the results, despite the market rout.

Surveyor bought AveXis shares at $20 apiece in a February 2016 initial public offering and shared in its windfall less than two years later when industry giant Novartis bought AveXis for $8.7 billion, or $218 a share, in April 2018. "Surveyor, at least in the AveXis instance, had a long view and was a very good investor along the way," Nolan says.

Now a different Surveyor team is getting into biotech companies pre-IPO, even earlier in the attempt to move a research idea through clinical trials to federal regulatory approvals to production. There are bigger gains to be had from investing at lower valuations before companies go public, but there are also more chances to stumble. "The venture capitalists are there earlier because they're willing to take more risk," Nolan says.

Surveyor always invests as part of a group that doesn't disclose how much each investor contributes, but based on the group amounts and dynamics, Surveyor is likely in for about $5 million to $15 million per company.

So far this year, Surveyor joined with other investors to place $170 million with Cambridge, Mass., gene and cell therapy accelerator ElevateBio; $105 million with Boston-based hearing loss therapy company Akouos; $100 million with South San Francisco-based Pliant Therapeutics, which is developing treatments to fight fibrotic diseases; and $88 million with San Francisco-based Spruce Biosciences, targeting treatments to battle endocrine disorders.

At that rate, Surveyor is on track to exceed the eight investments it made last year and the five in 2018. The dollar amounts of Surveyor's group investments have also mainly climbed, perhaps reflecting the arena's rising allure.

The IPO typically gives a 30% boost to investments, says Keith Crandell, whose Chicago-based investment firm, Arch Venture Partners, has carved out a niche in biotech venture investing. "Generally, you see the values pop, so there's talk about arbitraging that private-public step-up," says Crandell, an Arch managing director.

More investment funds are crossing over from public to private markets to grab that upside, he says. The closer companies get to approval for starting trials on humans, the more capital they require and the bigger sums they attract. "If you have a success in the clinic, it's worth a lot of money," he says, but "none of these are certain things."

Still, it takes only a couple of big wins to make a pack of investments successful. Surveyor's $85 million group investment in New York-based cancer treatment company Zentalis Pharmaceuticals in December delivered big returns last month when the company went public. Its shares, priced at $18 in the IPO, jumped as much as 50% on their first day of trading before closing at $23.20 and have since climbed to $31.93.

Surveyor's pre-IPO investment in Beltsville, Md.-based NextCure in November 2018 also panned out. In the May 2019 first-time stock sale, shares priced at $15 apiece and have more than doubled a year later, closing at $35.89 on May 7.

Crandell observes that a significant portion of Surveyor's investments are in gene and cell therapy and in cancer-fighting treatments. Those therapies have "performed well," particularly in oncology, "because the science has proved out," he says.

Surveyor may be increasing its odds by backing startups that have already landed "top-tier" venture capitalists in earlier stages of fundraising, he says, noting prominent firms like Third Rock Ventures and Canaan Partners. Surveyor's group co-investors aren't slouches, either, including Fidelity Management & Research and Franklin Templeton Investments.

Nonetheless, some of Surveyor's picks have declined. It invested in Sutro Biopharma in July 2018 before the company's September 2018 IPO, which priced at $15 a share. The shares have since sunk by more than a third to $9.62 on May 7.

All in all, Surveyor is still doing what Citadel does best, hedging its bets, but with more investor interest in biotech, the biggest gains may be harder to come by.

Will the Nature/Nurture Debate Ever End? – Scientific American

Back in the pre-pandemic era, I was really looking forward to April 8. On that date,Carl Zimmerwas going to give a talk at my school, Stevens Institute of Technology, about his latest book,She Has Her Mothers Laugh. For decades, Zimmer has reported on biology in The New York Times and other publications and in books,13 so far.Mothers Laughtells the epic tale of our attempts to plumb the mysteries of heredity and to improve ourselves with that knowledge. The book is a marvelous work of historyZimmers account of the early days of eugenics in the U.S. is especially grippingas well as a detailed, up-to-date report on CRISPR and other advances that add urgency to old debates about human enhancement. Zimmer is an engaging story-teller and insatiable reporter, who visits scientists in their labs and even volunteers to be a subject. As a result, while discussing the remarkable diversity of creatures dwelling on and in our bodies, he can tell you that his own bellybutton harbors a bacterium,Marimonas, also found in the Mariana Trench. In lieu of Carls April 8 talk, here he answers questions about genetics and related topics. John Horgan

Horgan:How did you end up in the science-writing racket, anyway? Any regrets?

Zimmer:I feel incredibly lucky to have this job. It wasn't anything I thought about with any foresight. I loved to write, and I loved science. A couple years out of college, I got a job as an assistant copy editor at the science magazineDiscover. There, I got a great training in how to fact-check and report on science. I stayed there for ten years before heading out on my own.

Horgan:Why the focus on biology? When you started out, wasnt physics going to solve everything?

Zimmer:As a junior reporter atDiscover, I had to write about all sorts of stuff--astronomy, geoscience, physics, technology, and so on. But I found that biology was always the field that managed to surprise me the most. Evolution has gone off in such crazy directions in the past four billion years, and the tools biologists have to study life have grown incredibly powerful over the past few decades.

Horgan:I sometimes worry Im too mean to scientists. Do you ever worry youre too nice?

Zimmer:As a fact-checker, you learn that no one should be given a pass. When I report on a story, I talk with outside experts to see if researchers I'm writing about are really delivering on what they claim. And it's also important to keep up with what social scientists and philosophers have to say--because science doesn't happen in a vacuum and can have dangerous consequences.

Horgan:Whats the biggest thing thats happened in science since you started writing about it?

Zimmer:DNA sequencing. It changed everything, from the study of Neanderthals to tracking the covid-19 pandemic.

Horgan:In 2009you quit the online chat show Bloggingheads.tv, on whichwe once spoke, because it gave a platform to creationists. Have your feelings about creationism evolved over the past decade?

Zimmer:No. Creationists have not done any good science since then, while evolutionary biology has leapt forward in dramatic fashion.

Horgan:Whenever I criticize scientificracism, orsexism, people call me an unscientific social justice warrior. I knowthis happens to you, too. How do you deal with these people?

Zimmer:People try to deflect from weak arguments by accusing their opponents of being contemptible.

Horgan:Is CRISPR living up to its hype? If so, will it help gene therapy, finally, take off?

Zimmer:CRISPR is already a mainstay of scientific research, for testing how genes work and how mutations affect health. It's already into clinical trials for diseases like sickle cell anemia just few years after its invention. We have yet to see how well it will work in those applications. But it's unquestionably one of the most important advances in the history of biology.

Horgan:By the time I reached the end ofShe Has Her Mothers Laugh, I wasnt sure whether you think genetic enhancement of humans is feasible, or desirable. Could you clarify?

Zimmer:I think anyone who pretends to have a simple answer is wrong. The answer depends not only on the complexity of biology, but also on what we really want from genetic enhancement. We are already carrying out genetic enhancement when parents with Huntington's disease pick embryos for IVF without the mutation. But I'm skeptical that any manipulation will affect, say, intelligence--certainly not more than what a decent education and a healthy childhood can offer.

Horgan:Will there be any more revolutions in our understanding of heredity?

Zimmer:It's not possible to predict revolutions that haven't happened. But I think that scientists will learn a lot about how epigenetic changes can be carried down through generations--if not in humans, then in other animals and plants.

Horgan:Will our knowledge ever be so complete that the nature/debate finally ends?

Zimmer:I can't rule it out, but it won't be easy. It's relatively easy to study how genes influence variation, but the environment is so vast and complex it may not submit to simple experiments with clear results. Still, there are some very impressive experiments that are grappling with these challenges.

Horgan:Are radical life extension, and possibly immortality, feasible?

Zimmer:I'm not holding my breath. Aging is the result of so many factors that it's hard to see how any simple intervention can change it much. Immortality just seems biologically silly to me.

Horgan:I cant resist asking: what do you think of the U.S. response to the coronavirus?

Zimmer:A disaster.
