Hacking Biology – The truth about COVID-19 and how spinach can send emails, Episode 11


Discover the future of technology where biology and digital systems merge – known as Biodigital Convergence and the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT). In this episode, we explore insights from Professor Ian Akyildiz, a world-leading expert in 6G/7G wireless systems, nanotechnology, and molecular communication.

Learn how mRNA vaccines, nanoscale machines, and programmable bio-devices are reshaping healthcare, AI-driven innovation and environmental control. But with revolutionary opportunities also come serious challenges – especially the security risks of reprogramming biological machines inside the body.

We also examine global initiatives by the Israel Innovation Authority, Gates Foundation and the Canadian government, alongside projects like Operation Warp Speed, all pushing to standardise and commercialise these cutting-edge technologies.
