The $193,400 Genetic Services Invoice

Dr. Joseph Thakuria (MGH/Harvard) billed Epstein for exome sequencing, iPS cell creation from his own fibroblasts, CRISPR editing for longevity mutations, and the $160,000 "Venus Project" genomic study of facial features.

The $9.5M Designer Baby Project

Bryan Bishop proposed embryo editing with an overseas lab reporting mouse results. Epstein's condition: "i have no issue with investing, the problem is only if i am seen to lead."
