Apple Google SpotifyThere have been incredible advances in biotech over the last decade, and today, technology is ever-present in life sciences.
Digital tools like AI and machine learning are increasingly used in the development of pharmaceuticals, while physical products like CRISPR are allowing us to edit the very building blocks of life. As Amit Joshi says, we now have “Photoshop for DNA.”
But are these advances getting the attention they deserve?

To balance the scales, this week our IMD professors discuss how artificial intelligence may revolutionize healthcare, and how new technologies may improve our collective quality of life.
