Famous Biotechnology Quotes
I'm very interested in the impact of biotechnology on the way people live. — Lois McMaster Bujold

Almost everybody is enthusiastic about the promise of biotechnology to cure disease and to relieve suffering. — Leon Kass
Molecular biology is essentially the practice of biochemistry without a license. — Erwin Chargaff
That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories. — Thomas Carper
The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress. — Isaac Asimov
We didn't stay in the caves. We haven't stayed on the planet. With biotechnology, gene sequencing, we are not going to even stay within the limitations of biology. — Jason Silva
Nature is the world's best inventor, and so we're finding ways to use what nature has discovered and turn it into a technology. — Jennifer Doudna
In the coming years, we must perfect the system and be able to use it in a more personalized way. It’s the future… the study of microbes can solve some of the biggest problems facing humanity. — Emmanuelle Charpentier
CRISPR technology has opened up the floodgates of DNA, allowing us to change any DNA sequence in any species. — Jennifer Doudna

Biotech is so much more powerful than our Normaltech. Imagine if we could tap its full potential; maybe your car could just heal itself of any scratches. Or it could give birth to your new car. And then you could feed the old one to your house. — Andrej Karpathy
I don't think that a mutual fund that invests exclusively in biotech start-ups or invests exclusively in companies in Thailand offers any great safety or diversification. — Ron Chernow
It's a great disappointment as a leader in the biotech industry that with all the amazing things the drug industry has done in the last couple of decades, we have not made a single major advance, have not developed a single new chemical entity approved for the treatment for Alzheimer's disease. — Vivek Ramaswamy
A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If, as some evidence suggests, exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life, studying them could revolutionise biology, medicine and biotechnology. — Paul Davies
We were getting press coverage and stock inquiries like we were a biotech company that had discovered a way of cooking bacon to cure cancer. — Cliff Lerner
It ended up being a great quarter across the country. The national trend was more on the IT (information technology) side of things. When you look at Southern California and San Diego specifically, it's driven largely by the life sciences and biotech side of things. — Don Williams
My high-tech aversion caused me to make fun of the typical biotech enterprise: $100 million in cash from selling shares, one hundred Ph.D.'s, 99 microscopes, and zero revenues. — Peter Lynch

Genetic Engineering Quotes
Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it's about controlling the world. — Vandana Shiva

People Writing About Biotechnology
More Biotechnology Quotes
No amount of outer technology, no amount of computers and biotechnology and nanotechnology is going to stop the continuation of warfare and racism and environmental destruction.

Today, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is well underway, and information technology, biotechnology and manufacturing technology are developing rapidly. — Xi Jinping
There are other dimensions of biotechnology. If you think of biotechnology like the Internet, it's not a category - it's an infrastructure that can be deployed to sustain or disrupt. In health care, the most complex problems at the high end have to be dealt with in a problem-solving mode by the best, most experienced physicians you can find. — Clayton Christensen
I see a bright future for the biotechnology industry when it follows the path of the computer industry, the path that von Neumann failed to foresee, becoming small and domesticated rather than big and centralized. — Freeman Dyson
By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshipped and feared. But our tools will not be magic wands and potions but the science of computers, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and most of all, the quantum theory. — Michio Kaku
In most instances, biotechnology, though a radically different approach, is a sustaining technology: It's a dramatically improved way of targeting problems that we hadn't been able to solve with the conventional approach of mainstream pharmaceutical companies. — Clayton Christensen

The way we're really going to grow the economy is to invest in people, to invest in innovation, to have the federal government put money in the kind of research that will create the new high-technology, biotechnology industries that will create the millions of new jobs. — Joe Lieberman
We have the means right now to live long enough to live forever. Existing knowledge can be aggressively applied to dramatically slow down aging processes so we can still be in vital health when the more radical life-extending therapies from biotechnology and nanotechnology become available. But most baby boomers won't make it because they are unaware of the accelerating aging process in their bodies and the opportunity to intervene. — Ray Kurzweil
The risk of an investment is described by both the probability and the potential amount of loss. The risk of an investment-the probability of an adverse outcome-is partly inherent in its very nature. A dollar spent on biotechnology research is a riskier investment than a dollar used to purchase utility equipment. The former has both a greater probability of loss and a greater percentage of the investment at stake. — Seth Klarman
How do commercial interests usually protect themselves from liability claims? Through insurance. In fact, in our society, the litmus test for safety is insurance. You can be insured for almost anything if you pay enough for the premium, but if the insurance industry isn't willing to bet its money on the safety of [biotechnology], it means the risks are simply too high or too uncertain for them to take the gamble. — David Suzuki
