With only two known living female northern white rhinos left, Colossal Biosciences and BioRescue have joined forces to fend off a looming extinction of the species. At the cutting edge of science, they're harnessing genetic technologies to rewrite the rhino's fate.
The North Texas bioscience organization, a driving force for growth in the regional ecosystem, will convene leaders at its flagship conference to catalyze industry opportunities, spotlight emerging companies, and make connections.

Google Cloud has unveiled its AI-powered Multiomics Suite, which aims to accelerate the discovery and interpretation of genomic data, helping companies design precision treatments. As part of the rollout, Google Cloud noted that Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences has adopted the Multiomics Suite, and that Colossal spinout Form Bio has been selected to help other organizations adopt it. See what the new suite can do—and how it could help life get scienced.
Colossal says its efforts could help boost "the U.S. high-tech advantage." Its gene editing technologies "will make waves across sectors—in agriculture with new biofuels and preserving biodiversity, as well as in human health through improved gene therapy and vaccine development," the company said.
In this week’s North Texas deal flow, you’ll also find news about crowdfunding platform Harvest Return landing $2.5M; Supply’s acquisition by Foundry Brands; Moss Adams acquiring local CPA firm Kurtz & Company P.C.; Tri Global Energy being acquired for $270M by Canada's Enbridge; and more.
Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences, the de-extinction company behind plans to bring back the woolly mammoth and thylacine, developed its own software solution "after reviewing everything available on the market." Now it's sharing the platform with the launch of Form Bio.
The spinout's technology tools can help drive the “entire molecular revolution” that is occurring in the life sciences and biotech space, in addition to bolstering the Lone Star state as a hub for the industry, says Chief Strategy Officer Claire Aldridge.
North Texas is a big place, with plenty to do, see, hear, and watch. So, we scour the internet every week to find events and activities for you. As always, things may change at any time, so be sure to check the official website or registration page for the latest details....
To date, most organizations in life sciences & health care (LSHC) have only scratched the surface of AI’s potential—primarily using it to automate repetitive tasks and standard business processes. For most organizations, the single most important AI building block is data: getting access to the rich data that AI systems require, and then managing that data in a coordinated way across the enterprise....
DataBank, a Dallas-based provider of enterprise-class edge colocation, interconnection, and managed cloud services, has raised $533 million via a combination of debt and equity to fund the construction of new data centers and meet the fast-growing need for capacity that’s driven by the rise of artificial intelligence applications....
