DNA, the blueprint of life, is not only responsible for encoding genetic information but also holds incredible potential as a data storage medium.
Join Prof Thomas Heinis and Prof Paul Freemont as they explore the latest advancements in DNA data storage research, including the benefits of DNA as a Storage Medium, the durability of DNA, the challenges of writing data to DNA and issues related to the sustainability of DNA data storage.
In this video, we delve into the groundbreaking field of DNA data storage, specifically focusing on the cutting-edge research being conducted at Imperial College London.
We'll also showcase our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities at Imperial College London, where researchers are making strides in the field of DNA data storage. We'll also explore the challenges of writing data to DNA, including issues related to the sustainability DNA data storage.
Special thanks to Prof Thomas Heinis, Omer Sella, Prof Paul Freemont, the data centre and the Biofoundry lab teams.
