I'm stoked to publicly share something I have been working on since joining Speculative Technologies: A roadmap for its next coordinated research program called Macromolecular Additive Manufacturing. This technology could lead to new multi-component proteins made from up to one hundred distinct subunits, which would be over a ten-fold increase versus what can be made with living cells.

I'm stoked to publicly share something I have been working on since joining Speculative Technologies: A roadmap for its next coordinated research program called Macromolecular Additive Manufacturing. This technology could lead to new multi-component proteins made from up to one hundred distinct subunits, which would be over a ten-fold increase versus what can be made with living cells. But why should anyone care about this? The technology could unlock artificial ‘antibodies’ that engage several targets simultaneously, vaccines made from multiple parts of infectious agents for robust…
