Creating Life's Operating System

September 10, 2024 Dr. Robert Hariri Season 1 Episode 19

Have we created an operating system for life? How close are we to cloning humans, and what would that even look like? 

You're in for a fascinating episode as the line between science and science fiction gets blurred.  My guest is microbiologist and geneticist Andrew Hessel, the CEO and Founder of The Genome Project-Write, and author of "The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology." 

In this episode we discuss:

➡️ How protein engineering has gone fully digital.

➡️ How DNA is a coding language that we can access.

➡️ Craig Ventner's work in transfecting a cell with a synthetic chromosome.

➡️ The reality of human cloning.

➡️ Stem cell banking and the future of medicine.

➡️ What immortality could really look like.

➡️ And more!
