This is rather ambitious. I do hope they get somewhere.If we succeed with this, in five years time we will be programming bacterial cells in the computer and compiling and storing its program into these new cells so they can readily execute them [...] We are talking about a highly ambitious goal leading to a fundamental breakthrough that will, ultimately, allow us to rapidly prototype, implement and deploy living entities that are completely new and do not appear in nature, adapting them so they perform new useful functions," says the professor.

Yes actually I did notice... From my perspective I'm not actually questioning his validity because I expect he's just as qualified to handle the project. I'm not a biology expert but I am interested to hear of his progress...

He has quite a team...I suppose all grad students need however is some crackers and some pizza coupons...:yh_bigsmi
