The latest developments bear uncanny resemblance to what was previously seen only in Isaac Asimov's stories. From the first human head transplant to gene editing, biotechnology developments are blurring the lines between science and science fiction.With various biotech firms focused on next-generation cell therapies and regenerative medicine, re-growing entire organs is now a reality. The pioneering research of Shinya Yamanaka has paved the way for further innovation in regenerative therapies, with companies working on growing humanized organs, regenerating human skin, and growing kidney organoids.Similarly, technology continues to advance neuroscience to new levels. Improvements in knowledge about other species and higher resolution MRI technologies along with machine learning have dramatically accelerated the understanding of the human brain's functions. A few companies have also developed technologies based on high dimensional 3D representations of energy flows within the brain to improve the understanding of energy flows. It doesn't just end there. With visionary entrepreneurs like Bryan Johnson and Elon Musk working on creating a brain-computer system that can link human brains to a computer interface, creating a "symbiosis with machines" and giving the power to hack the neural code, enhancing human intelligence does not seem like a moonshot.Finally, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing biotech by performing analyses in seconds as opposed to minutes and hours when human analysts are involved. Concurrently, it is also advancing the understanding of cancer cases to recommend better treatments.At this juncture, to help organizations partner with the best vendors and catalyze their growth in biotech by utilizing the latest technologies, CIOReview brings its biotechnology special edition, showcasing solution providers that are on top of their game in this arena. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading companies featured in this edition will help you in your endeavors today, and tomorrow.
