THIRD BIOMEDICAL REVOLUTION. "Convergence will be the emerging paradigm of how medical research will be conducted in the future...convergence is the third biomedical revolution." https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

THREE BIOMEDICAL REVOLUTIONS in 50 years: 1. Molecular and cellular biology revolution; 2. Genomics revolution; 3. Both these past revolutions are paving the way for the current convergence revolution. https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN. Please see video. " " https://lnkd.in/d3Stgvz https://capitalcell.es/campaign/inkemia/ View in LinkedIn

"CONVERGENCE has been happening in the past decades between traditionally separated disciplines and making new hybrid disciplines such as bioinformatics, synthetic biology, nanobiology, computational biology, tissue engineering, and biomaterials." https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

INCREASING COMPLEXITY. "Just as with the IT revolution, synthetic biology started by designing simple circuits, such as on/off switches, for the DNA in bacterial cells. Then they built more complex circuits, including ways for living cells to communicate with each other and methods (analogous to software programs for biological circuits) to orchestrate the behavior of whole groups of cells in a variety of organisms—yeasts, plants, and mammalian cells." https://lnkd.in/dtkZj87 View in LinkedIn

NBIC. The phrase “convergent technologies” refers to the synergistic combination of four major “NBIC” (nano-bio-info-cogno) provinces of science and technology, each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate: (a) nanoscience and nanotechnology; (b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering; (c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; (d) cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience." https://scholar.google.es/scholar?q=brain+machine+interface&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjfqbGUoeHLAhWHQBQKHYrMCLwQgQMICDAA View in LinkedIn

WHITE PAPER by MIT's greatest thinkers. A must-read. https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

GENES AS LEGO. "Juan Enriquez, a self-described “curiosity expert” and co-founder of the company Synthetic Genomics, compared the digital revolution spawned by thinking of information as a string of ones and zeros to the coming synthetic biology revolution, premised on thinking about life as a mix of interchangeable parts – genes and gene networks – that can be learned and manipulated like any language." http://news.berkeley.edu/2013/03/26/making-living-matter-programmable/ View in LinkedIn

FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: biology and technology. "As Koniku works towards making supercomputers with biological neurons, they have partnered with IT giant Cisco to leverage this new technology to do advanced computation. On the clinical research side, Girihlet has been working with UCSF and New York Blood Center to expand their Immuno Map to measure the immune system and predict disease." https://lnkd.in/dpBztqQ View in LinkedIn

THE EMERGING IT PLATFORM. "The primary objective of the workshop was to articulate a vision for the advancement of the information science and technology aspects of molecular chemistry and biochemistry, and how chemical and biochemical substrates might emerge as a new information technology in the coming century." http://www.dna.caltech.edu/Papers/Denmark_Workshop_2013.pdf View in LinkedIn
