Gene therapy is moving from promise to precision. Latus Bio added a $43M Series A extension from @8vc, @DCVCBio, and Hatch BioFund, bringing the round to $97M. P. Peter Ghoroghchian is building an AI-enabled platform focused on precision AAV delivery for neurological disease. The next biotech edge will come from pairing better vectors with better computational judgment.
