Googley bio
May 22, 2007
Via Paul Kedrosky (I love following his Twitter feed) comes the interesting piece of news that Google has made an investment in 23andMe. 23andMe is interesting for a bunch of reasons, none probably more so than the their co-founder Ann Wojcicki, who recently tied the knot with Sergey Brin. 23andMe, as Attila says, seems to be a perfect synergy of infotech and biotech, but I don’t know enough about the company to say any more. Personal genetics is always a bit of a touchy subject. Would I like to learn more? Absolutely. Perhaps Ann will be there at Scifoo 2007.
