Answer

In 2018, the Church lab at Harvard set a record by launching 16 biotech companies. These companies were created to commercialize technologies developed in the lab, including gene editing, gene therapy, and synthetic biology. The Church lab is one of the most active academic labs in the world in terms of commercialization, and its success has been attributed to its focus on developing technologies with real-world applications.
