- Andrew Hessel is inviting us into his world of synthetic biology where we're moving from developing tools allowing to modify genetic codes to tools allowing us to write entire genomes. He shares how we 're entering an era allowing us to program cells from scratch, how powerful it is and how important it is that we're get involved. Andrew Hessel is a distinguished research scientist with design software giant Autodesk Inc. in their Life Sciences group, which develops software for engineering molecular and living systems. He’s also the CEO of Humane Genomics, which is developing engineered nanoparticles for applications that include therapeutics, vaccines, and gene therapies. Andrew is on the leadership team of GP-write, the international effort to design, build, and test large like the human genome in cell culture. He is a fellow at the University of Ottawa, Institute for Science, Society, and Policy and faculty at Singularity University. His talks and articles help people appreciate and understand the rapid changes happening in life technologies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Big thinking. That is what we need. And...this guy is doing it.
Superb stuff.
I think Andrew will become the founding father of the next software revolution in synthetic biology.
I don’t think so, that’s more likely to be Ginkgo Bioworks.
there nothing that can give me goosebumps other than new neuro pathways of new information. I am so happy this has been in the works. It would be an honor to continue this work. I am too in the path of science. My goal is computer programming and biology or cell biology in the race for immortality.
3:51 its like looking at a function in IDA graph mode
Jeez. This may be the most powerful science/technology. Very very interesting & scary too.
@george xmas no worries for nut cases.
3:37
damn i wished that the subway in my city looked like that
Programming is not necessarily the path to take - since it is digital, and life is analog, operating on electro-chemical equilibrium.
For example, technological aids can be programmed for specific tasks, such as health maintenance, but again, it will use sensory inputs, which are analog... the only places programming would come into play is analyzing, which is not needed in an analog equilibrium-driven system, and then output control, again, which is not needed in an analog equilibrium-driven system.
Bravo intro for synthetic biology!
And who use that? Normal people?
you people are sick/
@@miladsadeghi2828 Of course not normal people
what is the movie he mentions called?
Blade Runner 2049, and it a good one, but long; its 3 hours long.
Thanks. I was wondering the same thing.
just had the same question...
Pls can someone identify the movie (bioengineering) that Andrew referred to? I dont seem to get it
Its Bladerunner 2049....Got it!
Does anyone know what movie he was referring to at the end of the video?
Blade runner 2049
Which movie he is talking about of bioengineering?
Blade runner 2049
Seriously. I am a carpenter I deal with cutting my fingers off or falling off a ladder every single day I'm on talk-to-text so get over it the point of the matter is this nothing will ever ever ever replace a man with a tool in his his hand.ok i hear the jokes.
Are any of these cancer treatments a reality yet because everyone I know still gets prescribed chemo and radiation.
If they found a cure for cancer you would likely never hear about it. It would simply not be allowed to end a trillion dollar industry. This is the problem that faces the world today , and that is most likely to end it.
They can cure cancer they've no intrest in saving people, it's only for the elites not regular joes and jills.
the presentation and the cell's database illustration blew my mind..:O
i like the guy , very well presented and easy to watch . my only concern is human kinds historic abuse and misuse of new technologies , be sure it will happen again . look at all the patents of hiv ebola etc , who knows what they come up with after this , watched any zombie movies recently ?
So this brings up the obvious point of - when will machines be manufactured from the bottom up, at the molecular level, the way biological systems develop, using DNA (or something like it) to assemble the fundamental building blocks of the machine (whatever that would be)?
cmon. lets just put the legos back down and go grab some alcohol . we can just forget this ever happened.... maybe we can forget to pay the bill too. k? k.!
Nanotech as described by Drexler has always been about shrinking human tools to nano sizes. But there already exists a vast toolbox at the nano-scale and its been field tested for roughly 4 billion years. So instead of inventing nano-scale wrenches and screwdrivers we should be learning how to use enzymes and proteins and DNA. The results are probably not going to be familiar objects built to atomic precision but entirely new, novel products built up from proteins.
They have been looking at and towards bio-computer chips for some time now , and are using quantum computing as we speak rather than just working towards it as they would have you believe.
13:21 "Rolodex"? Is there still such a thing?
what movie was that
where can you have genome sequenced?
probably at a company that specializes in genome sequencing!
What's the name of that movie he mentioned in his talk?
Blade Runner 2049
So many advances in technology and neurosciences and we still don't have a cure for tinnitus... Deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, auditory-somatosensory bimodal stimulation... all in research, but none being implemented yet...
Deep brain stimulation is available on the NHS in the UK and has been for a number of years now.
Vagus nerve stimulation is available without surgery using g external wearable devices although I'm unsure about its efficacy.
But none of the things you mention there have anything to do with the topic of the video...which was genomics... specifically human genomics research.
I'm also not sure how you think medical procedures will ever develop without research in the first place.
Even after a medical intervention is discovered it usually then takes at least a decade of pen pushing and beurocracy to have it applied to patients.
How do you know we don't?
EMF is doing that for you
Firstly I'm shocked but I believe the efficiency absolutely no doubt, better environment in all aspects, the risk is huge but the impact have a huge impact beyond.
videolara alt yazı yapın ya lütfen hepsine dil seçeneği gelsin.İngilizcem yetmiyo anlıyamıyorum herşeyi :(
How about those cannot afford the price? Are you going to do this for free for everyone unbiased?
They want to depopulate the world you think this is for everyone, not even close.
Very powerfull technology. I hope will never use agains human.
It most definitely will be
Every tech since our distant ancestors picked up rocks has been used for and against our collective interests. I fully expect no change in that trend.
Exactly what it's for against humanity.
The pompousity is amazing.
He uses "wrap up" wrong in the video.
It started off good but turned into a boring tail of mixed memories , and I lost interest....I could see the audience ; their take appeared to match mine. Medla-mania. Trying to make a case for self importance ,and not good at disguising it.
Mission creep. It seems to be baked into the human condition that those who gain a bit of power seem to be driven to seek ever greater control over the lives of others and of the natural world around them. Megalomania precludes any concerns about obtaining meaningful consent from one's guinea pigs.
I don't agree. I think if you put yourself in this mans shoes and think of how many years he had to keep to himself things that he probably felt the world not only had a right to know , but a need to know, it is not that difficult to imagine he would be excited to the point of bursting , and perhaps his mind was racing as a consequence. I think more likely is maybe you are afraid of the ramifications if what he is saying is in fact true.The resistance to change is a common Human reaction .
Scientists are slowly unraveling God's creation. They have a long way to go.
Go for it !
In the theological sense disease and wont are also God's creations. The faster we unravel these the better.
Even better would be to grow-up out of the notion of supernatural gods and recognize that everything is eventually knowable with the application of science. The universe doesn't give a fig whether humanity lives or dies, whether we go back to stone-age tools or advance into a space-faring species, or whether I go back to bed.
This is crazy but I like growing my own food from the ground up, it's much easier then the average scientist can fathom. This technology could save lives but I think, giving this technology the credit of being a miracle for our future is morally distructive, a false flag that gets in the way of truth and knowledge that has been given to us already and being suppressed by modern industry. Think big grow organic stay connected .
How to keep this world in balanced ecology is much important to just make one single human super……
Autodesk software is not that 'powerful'..
