Almost everybody is enthusiastic about the promise of biotechnology to cure disease and to relieve suffering.

I'm very interested in the impact of biotechnology on the way people live.

IndieBio's capital, facilities and deep mentoring by a network of biotech specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google's, Facebook's and Instagram's of biology.

I am much less concerned with whatever it is technology may be doing to people that what people are choosing to do to one another through technology. Facebook's reduction of people to predictively modeled profiles and investment banking's convolution of the marketplace into an algorithmic battleground were not the choices of machines.

The best part of working with Facebook has been the cross-fertilization of ideas, people, and technology.

The potential for synthetic biology and biotechnology is vast; we all have an opportunity to create the future together.

Biotech research is incredibly important for health-care innovation.

Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It's a technology that brings people together.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we've done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too. But the reality is that it's not an either-or. People need to be healthy and be able to have the Internet as a backbone to connect them to the whole economy.

Biohackers want to tinker; do fun science; and, in the process, accelerate the pace of biotech innovation.
