It's an exciting time and I think we are in a lag where all the tremendous progress in microbiology and related tech is starting to kick into high gear in delivering results. Basic things like being able to sequence whole human genomes for $500 and super cheap ability to introduce perturbations and observe their effects (CRISPR) have propelled research tremendously over the last few years, but many studies involving humans just take years to complete regardless of tech, so we are just starting to really see the results of these come through. I expect the next decade is going to see unprecedented progress in understanding of all kinds of severe diseases, as well as (with some further lag) development of therapies.
