Kurzweil proposes research programs to replace DNA, block bioterror viruses

Tags: — 9:47am

Way out in the future I’m sure, but some interesting research.

Ray Kurzweil has proposed a nanobiotechnology research program to replace the cell nucleus and ribosome machinery with a nanocomputer and nanobot to prevent diseases and aging and another program to create defensive technologies against rogue designer viruses.

Kurzweil presented the ideas in a keynote at the recent “Breakthrough Technologies for the World’s Biggest Problems” conference on April 28, sponsored by the Arlington Institute.
