This document contains the slides from a presentation by Arturo Pelayo on emerging technologies and their impact on healthcare. Some key points from the presentation include:
- Healthcare is transitioning from mass production to mass personalization through technologies like personalized medicine.
- Emerging technologies like gene editing, artificial intelligence, and digital biology represent the next wave of change and will have impacts such as eliminating organ black markets and enabling customized life forms.
- Innovation in healthcare will increasingly require interdisciplinary work across technical fields like computer science, engineering, and biology.
- Our current understanding of biology is comparable to early word processing software, and gene editing technologies are advancing rapidly from reading to writing DNA code.

54. “The device, called a "digital-to-biological converter," uses code containing
genetic instructions to print DNA, RNA, proteins, and even viruses with
chemicals pre-loaded into the machine.
Eventually, the device could be used to quickly send drugmakers vaccine
templates before an outbreak spreads, or create personalized medicines at
patients' bedsides.”
