Scientists are embarking on a biological version of the digital revolution. Until recently, controlling the mechanisms within cells-how they develop and change-was out of reach. But now biologists are finding ways to reprogramme cells at the genetic level, giving them access to the entire operating system of life.
Success is going to require collaboration across biology, computer science, physics and mathematics. The huge rewards will include extending our lifespans, curing a range of debilitating ailments and giving birth to a whole new generation of technology.
This talk took place in in collaboration with the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences and bit.bio.
Dr Mark Kotter is a doctor, scientist, and serial entrepreneur. As a neurosurgeon, he treats patients with spinal cord injury. Mark is best known for discovering the importance of macrophages for brain regeneration, which led to the first regenerative medicine trial for degenerative cervical myelopathy, and for developing opti-ox, a gene targeting approach that enables faithful execution of genetic information in cells. Applied to cellular reprogramming, opti-ox demonstrated that robust activation of a new cell type program (encoded in transcription factors) is necessary and sufficient to deterministically induce a new cellular identity. These findings challenge the theory that cell reprogramming depends on stochastically determined permissive states and enable the production of any human cell within days at purities approaching 100%.
He is the founder of bit.bio, co-founder of cultured meat startup Meatable, and co-founder and trustee of Myelopathy.org, the first charity dedicated to a common yet often overseen condition causing a 'slow motion spinal cord injury'.
This talk was recorded at the Royal Institution on 10 March 2022.

    Here I am, a 70 year old retired blacksmith who has the curiosity of a ten year old. I am overwhelmed by this incredible field of study and the possibilities that may become available in the future. I’m an outsider looking in. I’ve always had this thought that cells, like say cancer cells are cells that don’t like their job description, I know, bizarrely wide of the mark, but cell programming and the possible future therapies may bring solutions to humanity and I just love the very thought of it, I wish you all well in your studies.

Will Stephen Meyer be proved correct ? Just as we use our intellects to understand and manipulate this complexity , should we not give some thought to whatever force or forces gave rise to it in the first place ? That is still the big question . Get on with it guys , I haven't got long .

    This is skirting the real problem...what we need to know is the electromagnetics that builds up in a living cell and tells that cell to replicate. I have a model in my head which says that two, invisible, electromagnetic forces, come together and pass through each other, invisibly, whilst the atoms that are carried by them are chemically crushed together in the core of this activity then left behind after the invisible electromagnetic forces leave and enter neighbouring cells to dismantle then replicate them. The Higgs field is a related imploding force...but with a subtle difference because atomic particles can't escape the Higgs field unless they are kicked out.

    I hear you, but if we can fix somebody that permanently cannot fend for themselves using this technology, it may be more ethical than the alternative. Presently, the most ethical way we treat these are with a care system (at the expense of society in some way e.g. the taxpayer in the UK), where somebody in full-time care only has a life because there is another life sustaining it, we think that's ethical but societies only do that if they can afford it, e.g. the first mission to colonise Mars won't be taking any passengers. Of course, there are other potential consequences such as over-population, or if the technology becomes weaponised. Exciting times ahead.

(promotion of emergence) 2. 11:00 - "creating stem cell from specialized cells" Original theory did not support backwards changes. Just want to encourage applying the view of "emergence theory". to my eyes the basic notion is "anything is emerging under certain conditions". Consider each specialized cell (which we identify by differentiation of cells) as a group of emerging differences from a cell, within a cell. So, you are prompt to find the conditions for emergence. So you did. It should not surprise, that finding the conditions for emergence is the same as finding the conditions for the dissolution of what can emerge.

    Good morning Thanks to Mr Mark Kotter on this interesting lecture. As we see how the structure of the cell and the genetic code of the DNA, how is complex and advanced programming we are in the beginning in this new science. We know scientist Darwin at that time they don't know anything on the cell structure and the DNA. And recently after the human geneum sequence we understand that DNA encoded, but : " DNA like a software program but more more advanced than any our software program " Bill Gates. And I think you agree on that because you show us in your lecture. Mr Kotte as you know the scientists they don't know from where came the genetic code of the DNA, So if we said : - Windows program software was programmed by expert software. - obviously the genetic code of the DNA who is more more advanced than the code of Windows: Impossible came by natural selection (evolution) but only by Higher Intelligent Creator : Allah Almighty ..!! Thank you again Mr Kotte and I don't think you have problem to accept the Higher Intelligent Programmer. Have a nice day

When the speaker said the only problem [with the technology] he would see in it’s inefficiency that’s where my (always “on”) alarm went to a siren! A serious scientist [if the speaker considers himself as such) HAS to mention the dangers that “their” technology can (and will bring in the hands of less naive-minded people). “Curing diseases” is such a touching and noble goal put in your face by lobbyists and other promoters of fancy technology serve to make them automatically stand on the morally “good” side and silence any critical thought from the audience. I am not saying the guy is trying to manipulate us but he definitely sells us a pinky view of the product. I am not against this technology, I love it and I hope/wish he is right.

    READ: Fascinating. Coincides with some of my own thinking and research these past decades, until the realization occurred. It’s an endless pursuit, of human-centered technological activities and applications. As we work to improve and extend human capability, develop AI, computer-brain interfaces, direct cell actions, we are simultaneously destroying our Earth-home, which we callously “share” with nonhuman animals and plants, which we misuse, exploit, waste, and abuse. One million new humans are added every five days, 9500 new humans /hr! We’re destroying oceans, rain forests, depleting fresh water, non-renewable resources, killing off species, and becoming fixated on ourselves. Man is truly alien, to this Earth. So it’s nice to help paraplegics, quadriplegics, improve movement, vision, hearing, IQ’s, run faster, jump higher, live more comfortably, build $5 billion dollar sports complexes, quantum computers, insanely plan Mars vacations, but the present ego-centric civilization WILL collapse. Technology will be unable to save the world,, from humans.

    Yeah, when you have an entirely programmable thing then you are a programmer, not a biologist, well a computational biologist at least. We have gotten used to the constrained variables of evolution for long enough! It's time to get creative on our own! But yeah we need to study evolution as well and all the usual biology too...

    How I interpreted it is he's saying it's good to take an engineering approach to biology (where it's more, design, build, test, optimise, etc). I think both scientific and engineering approaches are valuable, and engineering approaches to biology (e.g. see synthetic biology) have substantially contributed to answering these how/why research questions anyway. So it's not a zero sum game, both can complement the other

    Before using those cells in therapy, are you really close enough to understanding what your reprogramming is really doing and if your cells stay stable adult cells in their natural environment? Re-programing leaves your cells probably close to an incomplete reprogramming and prone to develope into an cancer cell. I assume you left the natural cellular mechanisms to taggle with this intact? to my knowledge as Biochemist our characterizations of cells is stilllimited,though much has improved during the last years. good luck but please stay careful! Developmental biology and Genetics are not easily played around with and quickly messed up. Nature made it so wonderfully complex

    Safety is the most important aspect of a medicine. In all the studies that have been conducted by labs across the globe transplanting reprogrammed cells into animals there has been not one description of a teratoma = the tumour that can occur when one transplants traditionally differentiated stem cells. The conversion seems to be more complete when you operate on the transcription factor level.
