Jay Rosanelli is the CEO and Co-Founder of Syenex, a biotech developing a platform for in vivo gene therapy delivery. While capital in the gene and cell therapy (CGT) space has grown over the last 5 years, there remain serious bottlenecks in delivery. In this conversation, we discuss what Syenex is building, the future of CGT, and what's next in AI-driven drug discovery and neurotech.
