Built with Biology: Spaces

What is CRISPR? How does it work? Is it safe? How could this technology - one of the most powerful scientific tools of the 21st century - reshape our future, from the medicines we take to the foods we eat? Janice Chen, Chief Technology Officer of Mammoth Biosciences, explores the technology and envisions a future powered by CRISPR.

We spend a lot of time about DNA and the genome, all the genetic material in a living organism. But what about all the proteins? More unique and complex than DNA, proteins control much of how our bodies function and act as targets for therapeutics. Until recently, studying the proteome (all the proteins in an organism) was extremely difficult. Hear Parag Mallick from Nautilus tell the story of why everything may be about to change.

Why haven't therapeutics for brain diseases improved in decades? Could new approaches using brian organoids (aka mini-brains on a chip!) advance the field and bring potential cures to millions in need? Listen to Saul Kato and Sharath Hegde of Herophilus explain why inspirations of the past may point the way forward to a huge leap in treatments for brain disease.

What if you could make DNA in a box, put it on the back of a truck, take it to a hot zone, and start making vaccines directly at the epicenter of an emerging pandemic? That's exactly the kind of tech that Sylvain Gariel and the team at DNA Script are working on. Listen to how DNA can be made in a box using enzymes, where the DNA industry is headed, and much more
