The room, in its own words. Recorded on the floor at the Drug Discovery Innovation Forum, not written afterwards.
We are approaching an age where, with extraordinary data sources and incredible compute, we can begin to understand how DNA dictates protein function. Where we go next is more exciting still. We can program biology in intentional ways, to treat individual diseases.
