What if the biggest limitation in biology isn't computing power, but the data itself? 

In this episode we speak to Basecamp Research co-founders Glen Gowers and Oliver Vince about their mission to uncover Earth's undiscovered biology and use AI to transform medicine. 

The conversation explores the expedition to Iceland that inspired the company, how large language models can learn the language of DNA, and why the future of healthcare may depend on making biology programmable. The founders also discuss the personal experience that shifted their focus towards therapeutics and the role the UK can play in the next generation of scientific innovation. 

This is part one of a special two-part conversation.
