Just got back from Synbiobeta in San Jose It was great to hear directly from old and new players where present day synbio is at and where they see the future headed. I’ll be chiming in on my blog editlife.substack.com very soon also here is a lovely moment where I accidentally photobombed @bryanjohnson 😅

I haven't been sick in a while and I can't believe how debilitating it's been this week. Quite humbling to be forced to return to my own body. I'm now trying to imagine worlds where our technologies are as sophisticated as the virus that has hijacked my cells. This then made me think of this awesome paper on the "hidden virosphere" where researchers used an AI model to find a ton of novel viral RNA polymerases in environmental sequencing data AKA they found ~162,000 new viral species!! wild We have so much to learn about the invisible worlds around us https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(24)01085-7

/synbio is super underrated Dan’s post refers to an example of the 1st successful pig to human kidney transplant Some small caveats + key words: * xenotransplant = organ transplant from non-human animal This was a huge feat for xenotransplants, but this patient lived for 50 days and died from a potentially unrelated heart attack The only other cases of xenotransplant patients survived for max 2 months. We need more longitudinal studies of course, but this is still massive progress that scientists can genetically engineer another animal’s organ to be compatible in humans for any amount of time.

I’m a synthetic biologist so maybe biased 👀 but I am super optimistic about therapies/tech that will be enabled by advances in gene editing! The entire field and space of biological engineering is super underrated. I think we had a pretty cool signal with @usv sharing a biology investment thesis for the first time recently and I’m sure many more will follow!

For those curious about what sort of conference brings together biohacking billionaires, AI protein model builders, VCs, academics and astronauts, here is my piece covering my main takeaways from the SynBioBeta /synbio multiverse: https://open.substack.com/pub/editlife/p/the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of?r=2sgxx6&utm_medium=ios
