Molecular biology, as the field came to be called 3 , pushed biology from an object of study, driven forward by gentleman scientists and precocious country clergymen, into a tool with which to solve urgent problems. We’re particularly fond of Why We Didn’t Get a Malaria Vaccine Sooner.

We are living through an inflection point in biology’s history, in which a simple laptop can design proteins with wondrous new functions. Scientists at the Institute for Protein Design have crafted proteins that self-assemble into nanomaterials or that can be used as vaccines for the flu and HIV.

The landmark paper enabled revolutions in insulin biomanufacturing, CAR-T therapies, and the bioproduction of most modern vaccines; in other words, much of what we take for granted today. I recently asked for recommendations of “classic” papers in molecular biology. coli genes into a piece of simian virus DNA.

I’ve chosen these two because I think they are the linchpin by which we’ll be able to build broadly useful AI models for cell and molecular biology. But looking ahead to the second bottleneck, what does it mean to say that biology is “complex”? Cite: Niko McCarty. “Levers for Biological Progress.”
