Biologist Dan Gibson edits and programs DNA, just like coders program a computer. But his "code" creates life, giving scientists the power to convert digital information into biological material like proteins and vaccines. Now he's on to a new project: "biological transportation," which holds the promise of beaming new medicines across the globe over the internet. Learn more about how this technology could change the way we respond to disease outbreaks and enable us to download personalized prescriptions in our homes.

Dan Gibson: How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet

How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet

Harnessing DNA's power shifts flu vaccine production from egg-based methods to rapid digital synthesis, revolutionizing outbreak responses.

The digital-to-biological converter (DBC) introduces a new era of medicine, where drugs and vaccines can be emailed and printed anywhere.

Revolutionizing disease response, DNA to biological conversion tech transforms digital DNA codes into viable vaccines globally.
