Microsoft partners with biotech on ‘biological computing’ and cell DNA programming
Microsoft aims to bring its coding skills to bear on biotech, with the goal of building an end-to-end platform for programming the biology of living cells to better produce new medicines and potentially materials that could be applicable to a range of industries. - Fierce Biotech
Microsoft hopes its platform will improve lower the costs of viral vector production for gene therapies, and enable research into antibiotic-resistant colonies of bacteria.
