All right, so hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Innovatology Create the Future Now. And today we have a really interesting podcast episode about biotech and the new future of life, which will be with our guest Tiffany Vora. So I’m really excited to present to this speaker. We already had just a quick preparation. So I have to tell you that she has a lot to speak about the future where artificial intelligence is going, but also beyond, like, for example, as our title of this episode is saying, future of life. So Tiffany, can you please tell our audience more about yourself, who you are and what you are doing? Hi, everyone. I’m so glad to be part of this conversation today. I’m Tiffany. I live in Silicon Valley in California.

So right in the innovation ecosystem’s heart. I’m a molecular biologist by training. I studied biology and chemistry as an undergraduate and then did my Ph. D. in molecular biology at Princeton. And back in those days, I was right at the front of systems biology, high-throughput biology, and computational biology. And it’s really exciting now to see 20-something years later how these fields are maturing, how these tools have become even more powerful and exciting. And seeing all kinds of applications from health and wellness to food, to materials, to energy, to space, which I’d be super excited to talk about today if we get to it. But all of it means that we’re in this moment of unprecedented both power and opportunity, but I think challenges as well.

And I hope we’ll get a chance to talk about that because these are conversations that we need to be having now in order to make sure that the future of health, the future of food, the future of the environment, the future that we head toward are the most positive futures possible that we’re all a part of building together. Thank you so much. And I see that there are currently audiences tuning in. If you are currently watching us live, don’t hesitate to ask any questions in the chat. We are monitoring it. But before we will get some questions from the audience. So can you maybe elaborate on what are the current challenges of the health and wellness? Because you mentioned in your introduction a lot like future of food.
