What’s stopping us from using CRISPR to gene edit humans to fight disease?
Over the past two decades, gene therapy has come of age, but there are different means of delivering genetic payload.
Biotechnology, synthetic biology keys to humans colonizing other planets
Living anywhere in our Solar System beyond Earth will require the same level of protection that an astronaut needs while walking in space.
Engineering Living Organisms Could Be the World’s Biggest Industry
If you can synthesize DNA faster, then you can conduct more experiments and learn faster. That’s what I’d like to see. More people programming life.
How gene therapy could help astronauts survive deep space deadly radiation
NASA has turned to the fast-moving world of gene therapy to solve several potential medical issues facing astronauts on lengthy space missions.
How synthetic biology will improve Earth and space exploration
The same synthetic biology technologies that will help sustain us on Earth will also support our journey to inhabit the stars.
Quest to colonize space demands boost from biotechnology, synthetic biology
Synthetic biology will become indispensable to establish a long-term human presence off-Earth, namely colonization.
Is it time to use CRISPR to save biodiversity?
Though scientists are optimistic that CRISPR could help, they also emphasize caution and community engagement in order to get it right.
First-ever in-body CRISPR human trial performed by Clinicians
The clinical trial at the Oregan Health & Science University was performed to treat a blindness-causing gene mutation.
Regulation Too Often Shackles the Hands of Innovators
The sad fact of the matter is that those most interested in the regulatory process tend to be motivated by politics and ideology.
Systems Biology and the Coming of “Big” Science
This truly remarkable time in the biological sciences has the opportunity to effectively attack some of the most fundamental problems of society.
