I wrote last August about Y Combinator’s growing focus on life sciences, detailing the five biotech and six bio-related startups that took part in the Summer 2014 batch. Since then, the bio seed market has seen a lot of action: seven months is a long time in Startupland.

New player Indie Bio has been establishing itself on the bio accelerator / seed-fund front, while more targeted programmes like the Illumina Accelerator have been starting to make their mark. Existing power players like Breakout Labs have also been expanding their portfolios.
