The Labs Report

We recently shared a deep dive exploring our latest company, iris labs, on our Substack, The Labs Report. Now, in a companion podcast, Avak Kahvejian sits down with iris labs’ CEO Armen Mkrtchyan for a closer look at the founding concept behind iris labs and the science behind iris chat, including its approach to self-learning and safety.Read the full deep dive on iris labs here: https://flagshiplabs.substack.com/p/ai-is-already-your-confidant-now

We recently shared a deep dive from Terrana Biosciences on our Substack, The Labs Report. Listen to our latest podcast, where Justine Levin-Allerhand sits down with Terrana CEO Ryan Rapp for an inside look at the scientific bets, technical hurdles, and experimental milestones behind building an RNA platform for agriculture.

Following our deep dive on lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery, Justine Levin-Allerhand sits down with Head of Platform at Mirai Bio, Jagesh Shah for the story behind the data — from why delivery has remained such a persistent challenge to how machine learning, in vivo discovery, and modular LNP design are helping make more precise genetic medicines possible.

Following our latest deep dive on The Labs Report Substack, "Protein Medicines That Biology Can't Get Its Hands On," Avak Kahvejian sits down with Abiologics Chief Innovation Officer Mike Hamill for the story behind the data — exploring how AI, protein design, and novel chemistry converged to create a new generation of biologics.

Hosted by Avak Kahvejian and Justine Levin-Allerhand, The Labs Report podcast brings listeners into the stories behind the numbers: the unexpected results, the moments of doubt, and the possibilities emerging from the lab.

The first episode explores how Avak and Justine came to this work, what Flagship Labs is, and why pioneering new scientific fields requires an entirely different approach to invention and uncertainty.
