We’re seeing an entire industry grow Biotechnology has not been a money maker. Gary pisano at harvard points out, its been a profitless business for the better part of its four decades. If you exclude Amgen, the biggest success it looks even worse.But we see the foundations of what this poster – created by a high critical watchdog group in Europe – calls “SYNDUSTRY”Include big pharma and chemical giants, but also starttups and a global industry of DNA foundries that are producing “designer DNA”
Biological ideas are also going to work their way into many other fields – economic and public policyLess mechanistic, more ecological modelsstart to dominate our science-informed problem solving strategies and philosophies
Tying this back to intentioanl biologyKnome in Cambridge, MA for $100,000 will sequence your individual genome
Going forward – the science of metabolomics seeks to understand the way our bodies process the molecules that give us energy, remove waste and perform other useful life-sustaining functions.
