Project 8p’s quest is to mend broken chromosomes. By making medicines for 8p heroes living with the fallout of genomic imbalance we might just solve one of biology’s most complex puzzles.
The p in 8p is short for petit but it could easily stand for puzzle.
In analogy to Newtonian mechanics failing to predict the composition and motion of subatomic particles, the classical frameworks of aneuploidy fail to pinpoint a minimal set of common driver genes that are responsible for the shared constellation of symptoms and disabilities experienced by all 8p heroes who suffered a pre-conception traumatic genome injury to the short arm of the maternal copy of chromosome 8.
