99% of synthetic biology focus will remain on human healthcare; similar tech applies more broadly

99% of synthetic biology focus will remain on human healthcare; similar tech applies more broadly | if you go ask like 90% of people that are fluent in synthetic biology and think about genome engineering I'd say 99% of them will focus only on human healthcare... But the same technologies apply to other use cases I think are even larger economically
