What Do Reusable Rockets🚀 and Reusable DNA🧬 Have in Common? I continue to have my mind blown by the achievements of SpaceX and its complete redefinition of what is possible in the space industry. Their lynchpin technology, as we all know, are reusable rockets—standardized systems that launch, return, launch again; reusing standard components; finding modular and efficient ways to keep escaping the gravity well; etc. The cost and time savings are obvious, but it did something I would argue is much more important - it completely changed the way the space industry thinks about accessing space and opened up doors few ever thought would open or even existed. I can't help but now make the bold claim: I think this is the mindset that hasn't reached the gene and cell therapy industry yet - and we desperately need a "frameshift". Nearly everything in biotech begins with DNA, and the only way you can "get" DNA is to build it. Today, DNA vector construction is artisanal - often a one-off process: 1. New design 2. Build/synthesize from scratch 3. Repeat for each research need But there are severe limitations: how many times we had to constantly redesign, recreate, resynthesize sequences? How many times have your sequences been rejected for being too complex? How many times have you been told that what you're trying to achieve is impossible? This is all tied to a lack of standardization and a dearth of new technologies. This is my point: DNA is foundational to biotech like rockets are foundational to space exploration/travel. SpaceX redefined the paradigm because they redefined rockets. Now is the time to redefine the paradigm for DNA design and vector construction. #BirdOfPrey is here to do just that.
