Summary

Imagine visiting your primary care doctor and receiving a whole read out of your genomic data within 10 minutes for as little as $10, equipping your doctor with the information needed in order to deliver you individually tailored medical treatments and therapies. Thanks to the work being done at Roswell Biotechnologies, this is well on its way to becoming a reality.


As the founder, president, and CEO of Roswell Biotechnologies, Paul Mola realizes the need to sequence genomes at scale in order to obtain the level of understanding and interpretation needed for making precision medicine a reality. What we really need, he says, is a "genomic encyclopedia" of genetic variances and corresponding phenotypic descriptions, treatments, and drug therapies. Until now, the high cost and slow process of genomic sequencing has stymied this development and kept enormous amounts of useful information largely inaccessible and unaffordable for the average person.


Mola has discovered a viable solution by merging nanochemistry with CMOS technology (which is the same technology that's used to manufacture computer chips), which allows for direct electronic monitoring of the process by which DNA is copied. It's time-saving, cost-effective, and scalable, and there's nothing else like it out there. Rather than taking 24 hours and costing $1,500 to sequence a genome, the Roswell solution will take just an hour and cost $100, and packs a ton of opportunities for improvement down the road.

Welcome to Almost Here, Around the Corner of Future Technology Podcasts with Richard Jacobs.

0:07.0

Future Technologies is to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast.

0:13.0

Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used.

0:17.0

Or just around the corner, for Bitcoin to artificial intelligence,

0:21.0

3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more.

0:25.0

Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Future Tech and Future Tech health

0:31.0

podcast. Like guests Paul Mullah.

0:33.4

He's the founder of president and CEO of Roswell Biotech.

0:37.0

The website is Roswell Biotech.

0:39.6

So Paul, how you doing?

0:40.8

Thank you for coming.

0:41.8

It's a pleasure. It's absolutely great to be here to to talk to you guys about Roswell thank you

0:47.6

Yeah tell me what's the you know Roswell reminds me of aliens in Area 51. Where did the name come from and what's the premise of the company?

0:56.0

Well, the name really comes from the fact that we are an emerging technology,

1:04.0

think about it at the outer ages of what is possible.

1:07.2

We are taking molecules and integrating them

1:10.4

into nanosychids and making them part of the circuit which is pretty much an out of this world sort of idea that was seemed to be to be very

1:23.3

simple to tell people the technology and inspiration came from

1:26.3

up from outer space or from aliens

1:28.5

and try to explain it and that's that that's the genesis of the name.

1:33.0

What's the genesis of the name. What's the premise of the company now?

1:36.0

So what are you guys working on?
