Aanika Biosciences: koj puas xav tau ntau tus thwjtim?
Vishaal Bhuyan yog ib feem ntawm gig kab lis kev cai ua ntej nws loj. Hauv xyoo 2016, nws tau ua haujlwm hauv cov nyiaj tiv thaiv ntawm phab ntsa Street thaum nws txiav txim siab los nrhiav ib lub tuam txhab khoom noj txom ncauj ua ib qho kev lom zem rau sab. Nws lub tuam txhab cov khoom tau tsim tawm los ntawm cov noob qoob loo thiab xa tawm los ntawm Is Nrias teb, thaum kawg ua rau Facebook thiab Google chaw ua haujlwm pub rau cov neeg ua haujlwm nyob ntawd. Thaum lawv tsis raug tuav ntawm ciam teb Canadian, qhov ntawd yog.
Nquag ntawm kev rov mus ncig ua si kom rhuav tshem ntau txhiab phaus ntawm cov noob qoob loo vim muaj kab mob sib kis nrog tshuaj tsuag lossis kab tsuag, Bhuyan qhov kev ntxhov siab tuaj rau lub taub hau. Vim li cas tsis muaj leej twg paub tias cov kab mob no tuaj qhov twg? Rau lub hlis tom qab, thaum hmo ntuj nrog nws tus tub yug los, Bhuyan tau saib TED Tham los ntawm Ellen Jorgensen, tus tsim ntawm GenSpace. Nws xav tsis thoob - puas yog hluavtaws biology yog kev daws teeb meem rau nws?
Raws li nws hloov tawm, nws tuaj yeem thiab nws yog. Tab sis, raws li Bhuyan hais rau kuv thaum peb ntes tau ua ntej ntawm Rooj sablaj SynBioBeta Thaum lub Tsib Hlis, nws yeej tsis xav txog tias nws tseem yuav muab cov khoom siv hluav taws xob sib xyaw nrog cov khoom siv uas lawv tsis paub tias lawv xav tau.
Siv cov kab mob txhawm rau txheeb xyuas cov kab mob sib kis
Tom qab noj Biohacking 101 chav kawm ntawm GenSpace, Vishaal tau tswj kom tau Jorgensen nyob rau hauv lub nkoj los tsim ib txoj hauv kev los txheeb xyuas cov kab mob kis tau sai raws li cov khoom noj khoom haus. Qhov tshwm sim ntawm lawv txoj kev koom tes? A Bacillus spore uas tsis tuaj yeem germinate thiab nthuav qhia cov cim nucleic acid barcode uas tuaj yeem txheeb xyuas tau sai ntawm qPCR.
Cov spores yog cov nplaum zoo kawg nkaus: thaum koj siv lawv rau cov qoob loo, xws li lettuce lossis avocados, koj tsis tuaj yeem tshem tawm - uas txhais tau hais tias koj tuaj yeem ntes lawv txawm tias tom qab cov qoob loo tau ciaj sia, ntim, thiab xa mus ntau pua lossis ntau txhiab. ntawm mais ntawm qhov chaw lawv pib. Qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb thaum muaj kev sib kis.
Aanika's spore tags, feem ntau siv ua ntej sau, yog qhov nyuaj rau tshem tawm thiab pab txhawb … [+]
Aanika Biosciences: koj puas xav tau ntau tus thwjtim?
Feem ntau, cov qoob loo los ntawm ntau tshaj li ib puas lub teb chaws sib xyaw ua ke, ntim, thiab faib. Yog li, thaum muaj qhov tshwm sim tshwm sim, nws tuaj yeem siv sijhawm ntau lub hlis kom paub meej tias qhov chaw ua liaj ua teb. Yog tias, txawm li cas los xij, cov qoob loo raug kho nrog cov kab mob sib kis, nws tuaj yeem raug tshem tawm sai sai yog tias qhov kev sim qPCR yooj yim ntawm cov khoom tsis huv tsis txheeb xyuas qhov cim npe.
Tab sis yog tias tag is kuaj tau? Yuav tiv thaiv cov neeg ua liaj ua teb li cas los ntawm qhov tshwm sim? Cov lus teb yog cov kua ntses zais cia ntawm Bhuyan lub tuam txhab, Aanika Biosciences: koj puas xav tau ntau tus thwjtim?.
Tsis yog lwm lub tshuab txias
Thaum Aanika cov spores yeej daws tau qhov teeb meem tseem ceeb heev cuam tshuam rau cov khoom noj khoom haus, Bhuyan sai sai xav zoo li nws lub tuam txhab kev daws teeb meem yog qhov tsis tiav. Nws xav zoo li Aanika tuaj yeem muab ntau dua li "tsuas yog lwm lub tshuab txias." Rau ib tus neeg uas muaj yav dhau los ntawm Wall Street, nws tsis siv sijhawm ntev rau nws los txiav txim siab dab tsi yuav yog ib qho txiaj ntsig zoo dua rau Aanika cov neeg siv khoom: kev tuav pov hwm.
cov Qhov nruab nrab cov zaub mov rov qab raug nqi $ 10 lab USD nyob rau hauv tus nqi ncaj qha ib leeg, thiab yog tias lub tuam txhab ntsib ib qho, nws tuaj yeem txhais lub neej (lossis tuag) ntawm lub tuam txhab. Txawm li cas los xij, txawm li cas los xij, kev tuav pov hwm hauv kev lag luam khoom noj thiab dej haus ua rau ntau lub tuam txhab dai, xws li ko taw daim nqi lawv tus kheej lossis txo qis lossis txawm kaw lawv lub qhov rooj tag. Kev tuav pov hwm yog kim, nws tuaj yeem siv sijhawm ntau xyoo rau cov nyiaj them poob haujlwm, thiab feem ntau, cov tuam txhab tuav pov hwm muaj peev xwm tiv taus txawm tias cov khoom muag. Qhov no ua rau ntau tus neeg tsim khoom lag luam pov hwm tus kheej lossis yuav cov phiaj xwm pheej yig uas ua rau muaj qhov cuam tshuam loj. Qhov no yog qhov tseeb tshwj xeeb rau cov tuam txhab tsim cov thev naus laus zis tshiab.
Bhuyan hais tias "Cov tuam txhab pov hwm dab tsi txaus siab rau kev pov hwm yog cov tuam txhab lag luam mus ua lag luam nrog, yooj yim thiab yooj yim," hais Bhuyan. Raws li kev nce qib ntawm kev tsim kho tshiab, nws pom tias cov thev naus laus zis tshiab tau ua tsis tiav vim tias lawv tsis ua haujlwm, tab sis tsuas yog vim lawv tau pom tias "muaj kev pheej hmoo dhau." Yog li nws tau ua ib qho kev tawm tsam: nws tau sib yuav Aanika's spore cim npe nrog nws kev paub txog kev pov hwm. Aanika tsis yog tsuas yog ua cov spores uas pab taug qab cov zaub mov tawm, nws kuj koom tes nrog cov tuam txhab tuav pov hwm los muab kev nyab xeeb rau cov neeg tsim khoom noj yog tias thiab thaum twg muaj teeb meem tshwm sim.
Qhia cov tuam txhab tuav pov hwm txog hluavtaws biology
Nws suab yooj yim, tab sis ua tiav qhov no yog ib qho nyuaj kawg nkaus. Bhuyan thiab nws pab neeg tau siv ntau xyoo ua haujlwm nrog cov tuam txhab pov hwm thiab qhia lawv txog kev tshawb fawb-thiab hluavtaws biology.
"Thaum peb nug cov tuam txhab pov hwm yog tias lawv puas tau xav txog biology txoj kev uas lawv xav txog software, peb pom sai sai tias tsis muaj leej twg xav txog nws," Bhuyan hais. "Peb qhov kev nqis peev thawj zaug - cov sij hawm thiab cov sij hawm qhia cov neeg tuav pov hwm - tab tom pib them tam sim no. Aanika tab tom ua kom lub khw no siv tau. "
Tsis tsuas yog Aanika tuaj yeem muab cov nqi them rau 30% pheej yig dua li tam sim no, tab sis lawv cov nyiaj them yuav tshwm sim hauv 48 teev ntawm FDA ceeb toom txog teeb meem. Kev txiav txim siab seb cov qoob loo kho nrog Aanika's spores yog lub hauv paus ntawm kev sib kis yog qhov yooj yim thiab yooj yim: txawm li cas los xij ib qho yooj yim qPCR kev soj ntsuam los yog ib qho kev sim isothermal ntawm qhov chaw tsim los ntawm Aanika uas muab cov txiaj ntsig hauv 10 feeb xwb. Qhov no ib leeg txuag cov neeg tsim khoom txog 30-40% ntawm qhov kev thov tsuas yog txiav cov sijhawm tshawb nrhiav thiab cov nqi.
Aanika ntxiv txiav cov nqi pov hwm los ntawm kev txo qhov kev pheej hmoo uas yuav rov qab los yuav tshwm sim thawj zaug: lawv cov spores tuaj yeem tsim los tsim tsis yog cov cim npe molecular xwb, tab sis kuj tseem muaj cov molecules thib ob xws li tshuaj tua kab mob peptides, xa cov khoom noj khoom haus tag nrho.

Aanika Biosciences: koj puas xav tau ntau tus thwjtim?
Cov zaub mov rov qab tsuas yog qhov pib xwb
Cov ntawv thov rau Aanika mus deb dhau qhov tsuas yog khaws cov zaub mov xwb. Bhuyan tau sib sau ua ke pab pawg ntawm cov kws tshawb fawb thiab cov kws tshaj lij nyiaj txiag uas txheeb xyuas tsis yog kev thov xwb tab sis kuj tau txais kev nkag siab zoo ntawm qhov kev lag luam txaus siab txais.
"Yog tias peb pom tias muaj ib puag ncig kev noj qab haus huv, peb tuaj yeem saib ntawm ntug ntawd, nkag siab tiag tiag, tsim peb tus kheej thev naus laus zis nyob ib puag ncig nws, thiab tom qab ntawd tsim cov khoom pov hwm nyob ib puag ncig nws," Bhuyan piav qhia. "Kuv xav tias muaj yav tom ntej uas Aanika yuav lav cov tuam txhab uas siv cov cuab yeej siv thev naus laus zis vim peb nkag siab tias tib neeg ua dab tsi. Yog tias koj siv RNAi los ntsiag to cov noob hauv cov qoob loo uas peb xav tias yuav ua rau nws muaj zog dua, lwm lub tuam txhab pov hwm yuav tsis tau txais qhov ntawd, yog li ntawd yog peb cheeb tsam. Peb tuaj yeem yog tus choj ntawm kev tsim kho tshiab hauv cov khoom siv hluavtaws thiab lub ntiaj teb kev pov hwm thiab kev tuav pov hwm rov qab uas muaj ntau lub peev thiab uas ua rau muaj kev txiav txim siab ntawm txhua lub tuam txhab loj hauv ntiaj teb no. "
Aanika cov khoom tseem tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam loj heev hauv cov teeb meem nyob ib puag ncig kev tswj hwm kev tswj hwm, txwv tsis pub tshuaj lossis chaw ua liaj ua teb, kev ruaj ntseg daim ntawv lo zaub mov, thiab kev siv tau ntawm cov zaub mov tsis zoo-txhua yam teeb meem uas tau nce ntxiv raws li cov nqi cuam tshuam nrog kev tsim khoom thiab faib zaub mov nce. Nws tseem tuaj yeem pab hauv kev tawm tsam agroterrorism, uas tau nyob rau hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas tsoom fwv radar rau ntau xyoo lawm.
Ib tsev neeg lub npe uas tshwm sim los siv hluavtaws biology
Thaum nug tias nws lub zeem muag mus ntev rau Aanika yog dab tsi, Bhuyan tau nrawm los qhia meej tias nws tsis tau sim los tsim lub tuam txhab hluavtaws biology tom ntej. Nws siv ChatGPT ua piv txwv los piav qhia nws txhais li cas.
"ChatGPT yog qhov txias tsis yog vim nws siv AI, tab sis vim nws yog qhov tseem ceeb tam sim no uas txawm tias kuv niam tseem tham txog nws. Kuv pom tau tias tshwm sim nrog hluavtaws biology. Yog tias peb tuaj yeem tsim lub tuam txhab muaj txiaj ntsig tiag tiag uas tshwm sim los ntawm kev siv hluavtaws biology, qhov ntawd yuav yog qhov yeej loj. "
Lub tuam txhab tau zoo ntawm nws txoj hauv kev kom ua tiav lub hom phiaj ntawd. Bhuyan hais tias nws twb muaj ntau lub tuam txhab hluavtaws biology mus kom ze thiab nug seb nws puas tuaj yeem tsim txoj cai pov hwm ib puag ncig lawv cov khoom. Nws xav tias Aanika tus qauv tuaj yeem txuas ntxiv mus rau kev noj qab haus huv, uas muaj nws tus kheej cov teeb meem cuam tshuam los ntawm kev pov hwm kev noj qab haus huv hauv Tebchaws Meskas.
Xav txog lub qab ntug tam sim ntawd, Bhuyan ua rau kuv nco txog qee yam uas kuv tau hais ntau zaus ua ntej: nws yog lub sijhawm ntawm biology. Tab sis tam sim no thaum kuv xav txog cov thev naus laus zis thiab cov tuam txhab uas yuav paub txhua yam ntawm lub sijhawm no, kuv muaj ib lub tuam txhab ntxiv los xav txog. Aanika Biosciences twb yog tsev neeg lub npe hauv kuv phau ntawv.
Ua tsaug rau Embriette Hyde rau kev tshawb fawb ntxiv thiab tshaj tawm ntawm kab lus no. Kuv yog tus tsim ntawm SynBioBeta thiab qee lub tuam txhab uas kuv sau txog yog cov neeg txhawb nqa ntawm Rooj sablaj SynBioBeta thiab limtiam zom.
