The most advanced technology that exist in this universe is life. The study of life and the ability to engineer life will be the final invention of the human race. Currently there are advancements in synthetic biology which allow humans to program DNA like programming a computer. Bill Gates once said that DNA is a software, just more advanced than any software ever created. Elon Musk also said that DNA is firmware, which makes curing diseases like cancer a software problem. The ability to engineer life is at the forefront of most research done by synthetic biologists and bioengineers.
The Medical Laboratory has played a key role in the advancement of genetics over years. Gene-editing and molecular diagnostics are the foundations for engineering life. Engineering biology will replace engineering computer hardware and software as the future of tech.
