Your missing guide to breakthrough biotech
This is Decoding Bio. A community of writers, scientists, founders, and funders focused on exploring the boundaries of bio, and elevating an understanding of cutting edge developments in what the kids are calling biotech.
We started Decoding Bio to fill a gap in content and start some conversation around biotech. Exciting new technology like AI is being rapidly deployed across every aspect of biology. We felt there ought to be a place to host thoughtful content and discussion. That's this. This is that.
