Microbes have been engineered to produce everything from drugs to jet fuel. As the technology to engineer biology becomes faster and cheaper, Jay Keasling – Professor of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley and GenScript Advisory Board member– discusses how it could help solve problems from climate change to drug-resistant bacteria and food security at the World Economic Forum.

"Can we reset those clocks that count the time that control the programs of youth, fertility and ageing?” asks Professor Uri Alon from the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Watch Professor Alon describe how synthetic biology can alter the human timeline to eliminate disease and help us live longer, healthier lives at the World Economic Forum.
