The in­cu­ba­tor that hatched a Jen­nifer Doud­na CRISPR start­up blue­prints new 'des­ti­na­tion for life sci­ence en­tre­pre­neur­ship'

Long be­fore Cari­bou and Zymer­gen made their mark in CRISPR ther­a­peu­tics and syn­thet­ic bi­ol­o­gy, they had be­gun at the same place: an in­cu­ba­tor in Cal­i­for­nia by the name of QB3.

More ac­cu­rate­ly, QB3 is a net­work of in­cu­ba­tors aimed not just at hatch­ing life sci­ences ideas born on the cam­pus­es they’re of­ten housed in — from Stan­ford to UCSF to UC San­ta Cruz — but al­so draw­ing en­tre­pre­neurs to put down roots in the area.
