Living cells can do things no man-made machine can do — repair themselves, replicate and produce bio-based products. But like a machine, living cells can be programmed; their DNA code is their operating system.

Hear from people at the cusp of this new bio-industrial revolution — men and women who are creating solutions once thought impossible.
