Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Engineering Biology: The Next Frontier

Listen Later

The increasing capabilities of computing have changed biology from a realm dominated by scientific discovery to one that intersects with engineering and innovation. Vijay Pande, a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, joins Azeem Azhar to discuss the emergence of this novel industry at the interface of technology and biology.

They also discuss:

  • The most promising technologies to combat Covid-19 that are being tested.
  • Why next-gen biotech companies look increasingly like tech startups.
  • Why our long-term health depends on regulators and society engaging with this tech.
