EP11: Synthetic Biology and AI - Part 1 - Gene Editing and CRISPR
This Episode is Part 1 of a 2 episode mini-series on Synthetic Biology and AI, where we will explore the recent developments in Synthetic Biology and how they are accelerated by AI.
In this episode, we are joined by Synthetic Biology expert Dr. Samuel David Perli and discuss the exciting world of Synthetic Biology and its relationship with AI. The episode unravels how the CRISPR gene editing technology is transforming this arena, making it possible to precisely edit genes for the creation of new materials and life forms. We also discuss advancements in creating synthetic organs, tissues, and microbes for a variety of uses. The inception of synthetic meat, brought to life through 3D printing technologies and synthetic tissue engineering, unveils a completely new frontier in food production.
