BIOMOLECULES IN SILICON. "Integration of molecular components with silicon based electronics. This means that eventually electronic computation may be performed with molecular components integrated in CMOS electronics." https://lnkd.in/dChA4Uc View in LinkedIn

HISTORY IN REPETITION. "Before the industrial revolution most items were made by hand, which meant that they were slower to manufacture, more expensive to produce and limited in number. We are at a similar juncture in synthetic biology, having to test and build each part from scratch, which is a long and slow process." https://lnkd.in/dQXsqu8 View in LinkedIn

INNOVATION is intimately linked to economic growth. "A large proportion of US economic growth in the 20th century was derived from technological and related innovation." https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

DISRUPTIVE EFFICIENCIES. "In the past 25 years, modern society has seen many disruptive innovations, most of which have been based on a single platform: the internet. The key feature of most disruptive innovations is their ability to exploit and eliminate inefficiencies in existing systems. The connectedness enabled by the internet has allowed companies across a range of industries to replace traditional, capital-intensive approaches with new ways of doing business." https://lnkd.in/dPP5UrP 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

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

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

"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
