Opening New Frontiers in Biology! Deepinder Goyal Announces $25 Million in Research Support

Hello everyone! Today, I bring you incredibly exciting news from the science world. Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal from India has invested a significant sum of $25 million, which translates to over 30 billion Korean Won, to expand his science venture 'Continue Research.' 💰

I found myself deeply intrigued by this news. What kind of research warrants such a substantial investment?

'Continue Research's Ambitious Vision

Deepinder Goyal revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that this $25 million fund will be entirely self-funded. He stated that the fund aims to support scientists who 'dare to ask simpler questions than anyone else.'

He said, “Today we are expanding a $25 million fund (entirely personally funded) to support researchers around the world who believe biology might be far simpler than we imagine.” The idea that biology could be simpler than we perceive already sparks my curiosity, doesn't it? 🤔

'Continue Research,' established two years ago, describes itself as a research team and seed fund focused on understanding the 'upper mechanisms' of biology. Interestingly, this initiative operates differently from the traditional startup model. Instead, it positions itself as a long-term scientific endeavor aimed at 'extending healthy human function' and propelling humanity towards what Goyal terms the 'Post-Darwin era.'

Goyal's Passion for 'Simpler Questions'

Beyond just financial support, Deepinder Goyal seems eager to encourage scientists who pose 'simpler questions.' While tackling complex and difficult problems is important, sometimes questioning things we take for granted – asking 'Is this really so?' – can be the genesis of new discoveries. His perspective is refreshingly novel in its potential to challenge scientific principles we consider fundamental.

The fund is open to researchers worldwide and is also slated to support early-stage scientific startups. I am already excited to see what innovative ideas will emerge from the vast field of biology. 🌟

What Can We Expect?

Deepinder Goyal's latest investment signifies more than just financial backing; it demonstrates his profound interest in scientific research and his optimistic vision for the future. It would be beneficial for all of us to pay attention to the achievements of 'Continue Research' and whether it can present a new paradigm in biological research. What are your thoughts on this news?
