Keynotes
Each keynote has its own page with takeaways, the questions it answers, a clip, and who it is built for.
AI is learning the language of cells. Nina maps the convergence of machine intelligence and living systems — from algorithm-designed tissues to biology as the next computing platform — and what it means for every industry that touches the human body.

What happens when replacement parts for the human body become real, and they are grown from your own cells? Drawing on the first human trials of lab-grown bone, Nina charts the path from one-size-fits-all healthcare to treatments as personal as a fingerprint, and from living longer to living fully: lifespan, healthspan, and what she calls joyspan.

Formats
Cells are becoming partners in design: self-healing bridges, living textiles, lab-grown bone and meat. Nina shows how growing products will transform materials, medicine, and supply chains, and what it takes to grow living products safely and at home: the biomanufacturing capacity, the safeguards, and the policy choices behind a secure bioeconomy.

Living bone grown from a patient's own cells was science fiction a decade ago. Today it is in human trials. Nina shares what it took to get there, from lab bench to FDA-cleared clinical trials: building teams, culture, and conviction for a product that is alive, and the lessons that transfer to anyone building something the world calls impossible.

Formats
Patients research, organize, invest, and demand better. Drawing on a decade of getting EpiBone's first patient to the operating room and the emails that kept arriving, Nina charts how people in pain became partners in medicine: as advocates, as investors through crowdfunding, and as participants claiming the right to try.
