Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	14. Related Party Transactions During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid $32,000 and $13,000, respectively, to David Schaffer, Ph.D., the co-founder, director and Chief Scientific Advisor of the Company for consulting services and his services as a member of the Company’s board of directors. In April 2019, the Company entered into two sponsored research agreements (“SRAs”) with the UC Regents to conduct research in a research facility on the U.C. Berkeley campus, under the direction of Dr. Schaffer. The SRAs have a three year term ending in May 2022. Under the SRAs, the Company has an option to license (on a royalty-bearing basis) all intellectual property generated under the SRAs. Any patent prosecution costs incurred under the SRAs will also be borne by the Company. The Company can terminate the SRAs for convenience and without cause with 60 days’ notice. The total amount the Company is committed to pay to the UC Regents under the SRAs is $1.5 million, which was fully paid as of March 31, 2021. In March 2021, the Company entered into another sponsored research agreement with the UC Regents to conduct research in laboratories on the U.C. Berkeley campus that are under the direction of Dr. Schaffer and another U.C. Berkeley professor covering investigations into how machine learning approaches may enhance AAV capsid engineering (the “Machine Learning SRA”). Pursuant to the Machine Learning SRA, the Company has committed to pay the UC Regents a total of $1.4 million. The Machine Learning SRA has a three-year term ending in 2024. Any patent prosecution costs incurred under the SRAs will also be borne by the Company. The Company can terminate the SRAs for convenience and without cause with 60 days’ notice. While the Machine Learning SRA is between the Company and the UC Regents, the payments under the SRA will be used to fund the lab under the direction of Dr. Schaffer. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts payable related to the SRAs and Machine Learning SRA was $0 and $0.2 million, respectively.
