Biologists are realizing that evolution is not as random as previously thought; there must be a degree of order and flexibility in biological systems.

Biology is fundamentally digital; every organism is made up of sequences of DNA, and understanding how to program that DNA allows us to design biology to perform specific tasks.

We are training models inspired by evolutionary forces to connect biological sequences directly to their functions, leveraging the effects of natural selection through DNA mutations.

Our understanding of life is that we are biological creatures that interact and evolve, and future societies should be superior to the past. The more access to information people have, the better choices they can potentially make, even if they don't always do so.

My vision extends beyond just creating better drugs; I aim to build a comprehensive understanding of biology at all scales.

The complexity of living organisms cannot be reduced to mere mechanical processes; they are dynamic systems with interdependent parts that evolve and adapt in ways machines cannot. No machine can autonomously write its own program; biological organisms have had billions of years to develop complexity and abilities that machines have yet to achieve.

The theory of evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin, does not fully account for the unique developments in human biology that occurred around 200,000 years ago.

I believe biology is the most powerful manufacturing platform on the planet, and I want to use it to build innovative solutions.

String theory is currently the only theory that has survived scrutiny and attempts to unify the theories of the small and the big in physics.
