Once a laboratory curiosity, CRISPR now fuels real preclinical pipelines and agricultural pilots. Share your questions about delivery, off-target risks, and equitable access, and tell us which applications you hope to see safely reach patients first.
Rapid design, scalable manufacturing, and real-world monitoring taught the field hard-won lessons. We explore efforts toward pan-influenza and pan-coronavirus strategies, and ask: what data would make you confident in truly broad, long-lasting protection?
Beyond vaccines, researchers test mRNA for tolerogenic therapies and protein replacement. Share your thoughts on dosing, repeat administration, and immune modulation, and tell us which autoimmune indications deserve priority in upcoming clinical programs.
Formulators chase thermostability to simplify global access. We highlight advances in lipid chemistry, lyophilization, and excipients. If you work in supply chains, drop insights on last-mile hurdles and what breakthroughs would transform distribution.
Engineered capsids, LNP chemistries, and tissue-targeting ligands are expanding treatable organs. Which delivery innovations feel most credible to you, and where should we apply extra scrutiny before moving to later-stage trials?
Cell and Gene Therapies Go Mainstream
Closed systems and modular clean rooms hint at hospital-based production for certain therapies. Clinicians and engineers, share practical experiences: training needs, quality controls, and how to keep turnaround times patient-centered.
Synthetic Biology and Biofoundries
High-throughput DNA assembly and analytics feed machine learning models that cut development cycles. If you’ve run a biofoundry workflow, describe bottlenecks you faced and the metrics that truly predict success in scale-up.
Synthetic Biology and Biofoundries
Engineered microbes and biomaterials now sense and respond to their environments. Imagine self-healing coatings or biosensors in remote clinics. Tell us where you see the first trusted deployments and what safety interlocks they need.
AI for Wet Lab Acceleration
Protein Design with Diffusion Models
Generative models propose novel folds and binding interfaces that traditional heuristics miss. Share your benchmark datasets, robustness checks, and what experimental evidence would convince you a design is clinic-ready.
Lab Automation and Digital Twins
Robotic platforms and digital twins close the loop between simulation and experiment. If you manage an automated lab, discuss scheduling, error handling, and how you keep human creativity central to the discovery process.
Data Commons and Reproducibility
Open, well-annotated datasets reduce bias and enable fair comparisons. Join us in advocating for metadata standards, negative result sharing, and audits that keep models honest and results actionable.
Microbiome Engineering
Engineered consortia can sense inflammation and release therapeutics on cue. Patients and clinicians, what endpoints matter most—symptom relief, biomarkers, or resilience—and how should trials reflect day-to-day life?
Researchers pursue symbioses and pathway tweaks to cut fertilizer use without yield loss. Farmers, what would make adoption viable—cost, training, or predictable performance—and how can trials mirror real field conditions?
Carbon-Capturing Enzymes in Crops
Enhanced Rubisco performance and synthetic pathways could boost carbon fixation. We explore feasibility, trade-offs, and measurement. What evidence would convince you that such traits deliver net climate and agronomic benefits?
Regulatory Pathways and Farmer Adoption
Clear rules, seed stewardship, and agronomic support are essential. Share regional experiences with approvals, coexistence plans, and how trust is built between developers, growers, and local communities.
