Dan Gibson: How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet

Biologist Dan Gibson edits and programs DNA, just like coders program a computer.

Now he's on to a new project: "biological transportation," which holds the promise of beaming new medicines across the globe over the internet. Learn more about how this technology could change the way we respond to disease outbreaks and enable us to download personalized prescriptions in our homes.
