Keynotes

Talks at the frontier of biology, technology, and business.

Organic Intelligence: When AI Meets Biology

AI is learning the language of cells. Nina maps the convergence of machine intelligence and living systems — from algorithm-designed tissues to biology as the next computing platform — and what it means for every industry that touches the human body.

The Science of Longevity

What happens when replacement parts for the human body become real? Drawing on the first human trials of lab-grown bone, Nina explores the science extending healthy human life — and the business and ethical frontiers it opens.

Biology's Industrial Revolution

Cells are becoming partners in design: self-healing bridges, living textiles, lab-grown bone and meat. Nina shows how growing — rather than manufacturing — will transform materials, medicine, and supply chains.
