It took a massive convergence of technological disciplines, social changes, and economies of scale to make the computing economy possible. We truly believe that the potential of the bioeconomy over the next century can make the last century of computing seem small in comparison.
According to @aurmanARK's research, if biotech companies capitalize on the convergence between and among DNA sequencing, artificial intelligence, and gene editing/therapies, health care will enter a golden age that could be better than that in the 80's and '90s!.
