Why DNA Is the Most Exciting Programming Language Today

WIRED ICON Sean Parker, Napster cofounder NOMINATES Alex Marson, biologist and infectious disease doctor at UC San Francisco When Sean Parker was young, he cofounded Napster and changed the way we listen to music. The Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, which he founded in 2016, has dedicated $250 million toward using new technologies like Crispr to teach the human body to vanquish cancer. His research at UC San Francisco and the Parker Institute rejiggers the DNA of T cells—your immune system’s sentinels—to better recognize and attack malignant mutineers. Alex Marson: Yeah, for the past few years we could only use Crispr to make cuts inside of cells and snip away portions of DNA.
