What if - Your Genes
Once again - AI used to solve massive problems
The DNA you’re born with isn’t the version you’re stuck with. Dyno Therapeutics CEO Eric Kelsic explores why gene therapy can be transformative and why it’s so difficult to pull off: you have to get the right genetic instructions into the right cells, reliably. His team is building better delivery vehicles from viral protein shells, testing them at huge scale, and using AI to forecast what to try next.
The gap between what’s possible and what’s available is still massive, with only a handful of gene therapies approved and thousands of diseases still waiting for real options. But if delivery keeps improving, we may get to a future where your genetics don’t have to feel like a life sentence.
What if your genes aren’t permanent after all?
“Until very recently, I thought I would die with the same genome that I was born with.”
