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

We're at the beginning of the digitization and automation of biotech.

As the Industrial Age is drawing to a close, I think that we're witnessing the dawn of the era of biological design.

Sometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it.

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.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

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

The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor.

Some bioengineering is good, especially if it results in plants that are more drought-resistant or perennial food crops.

We've lost touch and allowed technology to take precedence over organic nature. But let's not forget that those microchips in our computers came from elements of the earth.
