Episode Synopsis
Can life be programmed like software? Synthetic biology says yes. We’re entering an era where DNA is code and biology is becoming a programmable platform. You can now order synthetic DNA online and use AI to design brand-new proteins. Today, we’re diving into the frontlines of this biotech revolution — and joining us is microbiologist, geneticist, and futurist Andrew Hessel to explore what’s possible now and what’s coming next.Also featured in Newsround are Dr Shelley Brady of DCU and Dr Shane Bergin of UCD.
