I would say that lots of interesting things are happening in biotech, and these things are slowly building critical mass, similar to what happened in computer hardware during the period 1970-2000.
Genomic platforms are now able to capture multiple measurements (e.g. RNA and chromatin openness) from single cells in large tissue slices/massive perturbation experiments.
Once time gets baked into the equation, we will be able to build better models of systems biology. However, human trials will still be a major bottleneck.
- schthms 4mo agoDefinitely very interesting what is happening in that space. I just read a few days ago about this Finnish startup that is able produce amino-complete protein out of CO2 using a microbiome: https://www.noemamag.com/making-food-out-of-thin-air/ https://www.noemamag.com/making-food-out-of-thin-air/ The idea of being able to lab-grow nutrient dense food is generally exciting, I just hope there won't be too much backlash from society and farmers.
