Ruler Of Sharjah Attends Today The Conference Of Life Sciences Organized By Sharjah Tatweer Forum
Abstract:
The keynote speaker Mr. Juan Enriquez is the Chairman and CEO of Biotechonomy, a company that researches and funds startups that are working to develop the promise of the genomic revolution. His book titled ‘As the Future Catches You: How Genomics & Other Forces are Changing Your Life, Work, Health & Wealth" became a global best seller. He has published several key articles and papers including, "Transforming Life, Transforming Business: the Life Science Revolution" and "Life Sciences in Arabic Speaking Countries".
Over the next few decades, manufacturing is expected to undergo a profound change. Advances in biotechnology and allied fields, especially nanotechnology, will reach the level of individual atoms and products will be designed and built to atomically-precise specifications. Sharjah Tatweer Forum (STF) takes special note of the sweeping changes biotechnology brings to economies the world over and wants the Emirate of Sharjah to be a leading force at the dawn of the bio-economy.
