Summary
Tiffany explains what Digital Biology is and how living things can be “programmed” to do things they could never do previously.
Tiffany discusses Gene Editing & CRISPR/Cas9, a technology that allows for fast, precise & permanent changes to DNA. Through this cutting edge technology it may be possible to make people immune to HIV/Aids and also treat tumors at a very early stage (earlier than certain cancers have ever been discovered before, allowing for more and better treatment(s)).
Listen to this exciting interview where we discuss cutting edge technology that's going to change how we live. Subscribe and perhaps donate bitcoin to keep us interviewing!
