The power comes from the ability to specify a one dimensional representation, the primary sequence, that will self-assemble into 3 dimensional structures. And the relatively simpler rules that govern this, due to the smaller diversity of charges and shapes of nucleotides (versus the larger diversity of amino acid residues) means it is more feasible to develop engineering rules for 3D designs.

DNA sequencing is the “Moore’s Law” for biotech: transcriptomics, proteomics, spatial genomics, etc. leverage cheap/powerful sequencing to advance exponentially.

And now, the "inverse" of DNA sequencing is rising: DNA molecular engineering that use nucleic acids as programmable lego blocks for smart materials, such as DNA origami, strand-displacement, aptamers & molecular switches, etc.

Just joined and here’s my #introduction:

I'm a venture investor in DeepTech and TechBio, based in Silicon Valley. I am focused on technologies that scale or make use of the Data Stack, such as semiconductors, machine learning, quantum computing, digital health, and blockchain infrastructure (e.g., zero knowledge proof). In my ample spare time, I enjoy exercising, eating to make up for the exercising, messaging my son, and studying math and physics.
