Today Fiona Mischel talks with Mark Kotter, Founder and CEO of bit.bio, about the impact of synthetic biology on the future of medicine. Technologies like human cell reprogramming are taking us beyond the “Brothers Wright Flight'' of early CAR-T therapies, which, while effective, are expensive, cumbersome, and difficult to target. Mark Kotter is dedicated to bringing cell therapies to all patients. Tune in to hear how this vision can be achieved, what challenges we face next, and the breadth of opportunities synbio is creating. You can learn more about human cell reprogramming at www.bit.bio
