下一場軟體革命：編寫生物細胞軟體程式

計算生物學家莎拉·簡·鄧恩說：人體內的細胞就像計算機軟體一樣，是被「編寫」為在特定時間執行特定功能的程式；如果我們更理解此一過程，就能夠重新編寫細胞的程式。 在這前瞻的科學演講中，鄧恩博士解釋她的團隊研究胚胎幹細胞，理解賦予生物生命的程式，以開發能夠改變醫學、農業和能源的「生物軟體」。

The next great leap in technology is the ability to program living cells, promising to transform fields from medicine to agriculture. By uncovering the algorithms that guide stem cells to become any cell type, scientists have begun predicting and directing cellular behavior. Recent breakthroughs even let researchers turn adult cells back to a naïve state, opening the door to personalized therapies. These advances bring both extraordinary promise and pressing ethical questions as we approach an era where biology itself becomes programmable.
