Think Forward: Conversations with Futurists, Innovators and Big Thinkers FIF Series EP 58 - BioNexus - Part 1 - The Convergence of Biology and Technology
The BioNexus super shift represents a revolutionary convergence of biology and technology that's fundamentally changing our relationship with life itself, transforming everything from healthcare to agriculture and challenging our definition of what it means to be human.
• Moving from studying biology to engineering it through synthetic biology, genetic editing, and AI-driven bioinformatics
• Creating new biological systems from scratch, including bacteria that produce medicines and self-healing materials
• Using CRISPR and genetic engineering to edit DNA with precision, potentially curing diseases before they start
• Transforming healthcare through personalized medicine tailored to individual genetic profiles
• Revolutionizing cancer treatment with molecular-level interventions that target tumors precisely
• Advancing longevity science by treating aging itself as a potentially manageable condition
• Developing agricultural innovations like lab-grown meat and genetically designed crops
• Creating new biomanufacturing methods to grow materials at a cellular level
• Confronting ethical challenges around genetic enhancement, access to technology, and biosecurity risks
• Considering who controls and benefits from biological engineering capabilities
Take a look at the industries you work in, invest in, or rely on. How is BioNexus already affecting them? What breakthroughs could change your business, health, or daily life in the next decade?
