Bioconvergence & future human health, with Shai Melcer

Bioconvergence is a multidisciplinary research and development approach that merges technologies from biology, engineering, and computation, providing solutions in medicine, food, agriculture, manufacturing, climate, and more. In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh speaks with Shai Melcer, head of the national bioconvergence programme at Israel Innovation Authority, for a conversation exploring bioconvergence broadly. Melcer discusses the foundations, goes into detail about companies currently working in the bioconvergence space, and what it could – all together – mean for the future of human health.
