Bioengineers condense protein engineering and testing to a single day
Proteins are critical to life-and to industry. There are countless proteins that could be engineered to treat and even cure serious diseases and cellular dysfunctions. Industrial applications are similarly promising, with proteins increasingly used as enzymes in food manufacturing and in consumer detergents.
The tech section covers stories about technology making life better, not just more profitable. Open-source tools reaching new audiences, accessibility breakthroughs, AI applications in healthcare and education, infrastructure improvements that quietly make cities work better. Product launches and funding rounds are excluded unless they deliver tangible public benefit.
