The CEO of Colasal, a startup that aims to use genetic modification techniques that have been brought back to the malicious species, including Willy Memouth, assured the audience at the SXSW that the company has no plans to build a real -life Jurassic Park.
“Modern protection is not working […] And we need a ‘D -Extension’ toolkit, “Ben Lam, CEO of Colasal, said during a stage interview in Austin on Sunday, Actor and Board member who answered Manginelo’s questions.” [that] Retrieve some things that we are [as a species] What is “
Lam added that Colasal is working to bring back Dodo Bird and Thalasin, commonly known as the Tasimani Tiger, as well as woolen mammoth. But dinosaur’s de -extension will not be possible due to lack of DNAsar DNA’s usable sources.
Kolasal, based in Dallas, founded in 2023 by Lam and George Church, has said that it wants to keep the Only Memoner Hybrid calves by 2028, which is expected to be re -reproduced to the Arctic Tendra residence. The company is also guiding a research plan to send Tasmani Tiger Joyce back to its original Tasmani and wider Australian residence after the imprisonment.
This vision has resonated with investors. Colasal has collected hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital, and that is Currently worth $ 10.2 billion.
Colasal has focused two companies on specific applications, including a third that has not yet been announced. Lam also said that he believes that the search for species and carbon is to be “billions of dollars” from “re -wedding”.
Colasal is one of the recent high -profile projects Modified in the genes “woolen mouse,” A species of mouse with changes affected by Only Memotes. The rats, which display long, tunes, tuy tin fur, were developed using mammoth and using growth in the leading mouse hair.
Some experts have expressed doubts about new species, and argued that the experience was higher than the progress in the extension of mouse genetics.
However, Lam said the project has confirmed the work of Colasal on the Only Memorial Research.
“He showed us that initially, our amendments that we were making on a large scale are the right amendments,” Lam said.
During the interview, Lam touched the AI, saying that he believes that the combination of access to computing, AI, and artificial biology has seen the world’s most “dangerous” set of technologies. But he also painted an Idealistic image of the future, which predicted that the development of artificial organisms, especially the treatment of cancer, would lead to a widespread availability of plastic removal from the oceans and a widespread availability of clean water.
Lam said, “We will gain real dominance over life, where we can eliminate species that are invasive or we can withdraw the missing species,” and I think we will also have the ability to engineer the plants – not only for food consumption, but you will be able to engineer with different proteins. “
Lam also said that he expects humanity in the next 20 years “will gain the pace of longevity”, which will increase the expectation of average human life and make the infinity an ideological possibility.
Beyond human longevity, Lam said that the D -execution may need a “Manhattan Project Scale Project” to back the risk of creating stem and egg cells, especially in “bio -wallets”. Lam said he had “talked to a country that looks passionate about it” – without a name.
On the topic of public sector work, Lam mentioned that a large number of US government agencies meet with “quarterly” and the government has invested in Kolasal, possibly, via grant.
