The fund has already allocated $90 million to five companies in its portfolio. Goldman Sachs highlighted several themes of fundamental innovation, including precision medicine, genetic medicine, cell therapy, immunotherapy, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence, as drivers of future growth in the life sciences sector.
