Imagine building something like a cell phone, a car, or a house and then imagine that thing went on to reproduce itself. Well, that is what Andrew Hessel, the guest on this episode of Bulletproof Radio, and the people at the human Genome Project-Write intend to do. Starting by helping people better understand and use living systems to meet the needs of society.
Imagine building something like a cell phone, a car, or a house and then imagine that thing went on to reproduce itself. Well, that is what Andrew Hessel, the guest on this episode of Bulletproof Radio, and the people at the human Genome Project-Write intend to do. Starting by helping people better understand and use living systems to meet the needs of society.
Andrew Hessel is the CEO of Humane Genomics Inc., a seed-stage company developing virus-based therapies for cancer, starting with dogs. He is also a co-founder of the Genome Project-write, the international scientific effort working to engineer large genomes, including the human genome.
Andrew does things that sound like science fiction and even the way he describes himself, as a synthetic biologist, contains a set of words that did not exist until very recently. In the interview, we get into what exactly that is, what can be done through DNA splicing, and why they use viruses to get the job done.
