In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Koenig sits down with Omer Sabary, a PhD candidate at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, to explore the fascinating world of DNA data storage. Imagine a future where all the information ever recorded—books, photos, and entire digital archives—could be stored in a tiny strand of synthetic DNA. Omer shares his journey into this groundbreaking field, breaking down complex ideas into accessible insights. From the challenges of error correction to the role of AI in optimizing data storage, this conversation uncovers the immense potential of using DNA, nature’s most efficient storage medium, to revolutionize how we preserve data for generations to come. As we celebrate one year of The DNA of Things podcast, this episode is a glimpse into a future where biology and technology merge to reshape the digital world.
