Although the application of digital biology raises profound ethical, governmental, and environmental questions, these technologies provide a great opportunity to solve some of humanity's global grand challenges, such as health, food, water, energy, the environment, and even space.
How can we revolutionize health care in Africa? According to Tiffany Vora it involves sequencing the genomes of Africans across the continent and building large networks of data around these. Check out this talk to learn how we can hack ourselves and bring about abundance to Africans everywhere and join us at singularityusoutharica.org to learn how to make a positive impact.
 

Programming Life with Digital Biology by Dr. Tiffany Vora, Faculty Director & Vice Chair of Digital Biology & Medicine at Singularity University

Diving deep into the microbiome, Dr. Tiffany Vora looked at bacteria and how life science technologies have so much to offer as an innovation space. Bacteria is a living medicine, and we need to now view biology as technology, the same way we look at artificial intelligence.
 
Scientists can now more cheaply and efficiently edit animal and human DNA using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. But should we edit species, and if so, to what extent? An interesting way to consider this question is by looking at mosquitoes.
How can we revolutionize health care around the World? According to Tiffany Vora it involves sequencing the genomes of people around the World and building large networks of data around these. Check out this talk to learn how we can hack ourselves and bring about abundance to people everywhere and join us at sunordic.org to learn how to make a positive impact.
