The wider picture
At the Sacred Space in Miami’s Wynwood district, we’ll host conversations with luminaries from biotechnology, politics, artificial intelligence, and beyond. Skip to main contentSave this storySave this storyThe natural world as we know it represents only a fraction of what might exist. WIRED en Español spoke with David Baker, chief scientific officer at AI BioDesign, to address this and other topics. DAVID BAKER: What’s exciting about biology is that nature has explored only a fraction of what is physically and chemically possible, which opens a world of possibilities for what we could design.
We can screen designs computationally, test them extensively in contained laboratory settings, and subject them to increasingly realistic experimental validation before considering any real-world application. My team and I have lofty goals for protein design: We’re working to build a world where a cure for a new disease is created in weeks, not decades.
