Becoming Bio ·7 January 2026·1 outlet
Core Memory ran an exclusive on Becoming Bio, which has engineered a lab-grown placenta that can nurture a mouse embryo outside the body. That opens a way to watch development happen rather than infer it after the fact. Divya Dhar Cohen, a New Zealand-trained medical doctor with a Wharton MBA and a Harvard MPA, founded the company, which otherwise operates largely in stealth.
We backed Becoming Bio because personalized, biology-driven health is moving from niche to mainstream, and the team pairs scientific credibility with a product built for everyday people rather than laboratories. Longevity and preventive health is a large and fast-growing market, and Becoming Bio is early to the move from generic advice toward guidance grounded in each person's own data. What convinced us was Divya Dhar Cohen's focus on turning complex science into something people can act on.
