Earlier this morning I received the following email invitation from Singularity University. I’m posting it here because I believe you’ll be interested in seeing it. Perhaps one of you may want to attend SU -

Subject: Invitation: Learn to Hack Bacteria in your Living Room and More

Frank,
A few weeks ago, SU faculty Andrew Hessel gave a private lecture to our Singularity University students showing them how to “hack” bacteria in their living rooms, using simple products they could buy in any store…

More than just a cocktail party trick, the ability to hack bacteria at home demonstrates how much more is known about bacteria and DNA for more effective and personalized healthcare and treatments.

Andrew is co-chair of the Biotech and Bioinformatics track, and an expert in biotech and synthetic biology. Here is an interview with Andrew discussing recent advances and innovations:

Andrew will be working personally with the 50 people who get in to our Executive Program beginning October 14. Interested in working with him and other industry experts one on one?

We understand this is a busy time of year, and schedules get jam-packed. But, we’ve saved three spots for people who apply last minute. We don’t believe in first-come-first serve, as we want to accept only the best candidates…

Want to learn about the latest innovations in six tracks including biotech and artificial intelligence/robotics from industry leaders? And understand how they will impact and benefit your career, company, and life? Contact Kip Stringfellow at kip@singularityu.org to register and for more information.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Executive Program!
