The rewards for biotechnology are tremendous - to solve disease, eliminate poverty, age gracefully. It sounds so much cooler than Facebook.

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

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

I'm a computer scientist by training. I'm also the author of three books, all of which endorse the use of biotechnology to improve the human condition. In the most recent of these, 'The Infinite Resource,' I talk about the power of innovation to save the world.

Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.

Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.

Bio-Technology is expected to play a major role in improving productivity.

If only the human body could handle trauma as well as biotechnology stocks do.

I think the ethics and morals of genetic engineering are very complicated. It intrigues me.

Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That's a noble cause, and that's where we should be heading. But once we get past that - once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with - when we start thinking about the future, there's an opportunity to create some new life-forms.
