Biological Engineering-The Nexus Between Computer Programming and Medicine - Video

Tim Lu was motivated to make the switch from programming electrical computers to programming biological computers because he felt “we were on the cusp of a revolution'. Today, the feeling of growth in the field of bioengineered medicine is still palpable. As Tim says, “Our raw ability to read DNA and write DNA is accelerating at an exponential pace, in some cases even faster than computers have developed, and this is going to lead to a democratization and an acceleration of biological programming.”
