Abstract

Focuses on the convergence between the genomics and semiconductor industries, in particular organ printing, DNA computing, biomolecular sensory networks, and DNA microarrays. Explains what this newly converged world looks like based on current research and findings in biotechnology and high technology, evaluating two areas in particular: organ printing and biomolecular computing. Also lays out the business model and underlying economics; evaluates the industry and competition; identifies technical, business, or regulatory challenges; and discusses the impact on the future. Considers business opportunities that arose from other major areas of convergence.
