Synthetic biology is the principle of synthesising DNAs and designing genetic circuitry to enhance or repurpose cellular functions. In recent years, advancements in this field of science have expanded the capabilities of microbial fermentation to beyond just brewing and food processing. Through microbial and mammalian cell engineering, bio-manufacturing has been repurposed for a wide variety of end products from fragrance to pharmaceuticals.

While most of the available health care diagnostics that use artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are extraordinarily powerful, the adoption of these algorithms has been slow because results are difficult to verify, and they also do not include explanations of why a patient has a certain disease or disorder. However, a new type of algorithm called “explainable AI” (XAI) can be easily understood by humans. As a result, XAI is being increasingly relevant in healthcare, making it more likely that healthcare providers will actually use the associated diagnostics.
