Software is Eating Bio

Editor's Notes

1. Powerful new methods put software at the center Machine Learning, Large-scale data, Cloud computing Emergence of a “Cloud Bio” infrastructure Analogs to cloud computing: low CapEx startups in Bio Approaches that seek to avoid FDA risk DTC, consumer genomics, etc

5. Software can positively impact our health, wellness, and lives Mobile leads to more natural human connections, sensors, reminders Quantified self + Cloud brings everything together Smartphones enable better population management tools Smartphones and notifications allow engagement with healthcare apps Smartphone hardware can be used for diagnostic purposes or to power medical add-ons Teledermatology use phone camera to send pictures of skin conditions Decentralization as a general theme Bringing the patient to the center of the decision making process

7. Hardware: Cloud Experiments equivalents to data centers for experiments: low startup CapEx Cloud labs can use commodity hardware from mobile supply chain Software Machine Learning/Statistics powerfully complement biology Open source tools create an established tool chain People New generation of students who know biology and can code Coding is more than programming — it’s the way to break down challenging problems, applicable to biology broadly

9. Consumer: consumer genomics: eg, actionable choices Clinical personalized medicine: eg, use genomics to predict the best drugs for cancer patients advanced computational imaging: eg coupling machine learning with advances in imaging hardware clinical genomics & testing: eg disrupting existing clinical tests with genomic approaches that are cheaper and open new doors B2B: new tools to accelerate others, building out the infrastructure
