Mission

Foresight Institute supports the beneficial development of high-impact technology to make great futures more likely. We focus on science and technology that is too early-stage or interdisciplinary for legacy institutions to support. 

For instance:

  1. Molecular Machines to better control matter
  2. Biotech to reverse aging 
  3. Computer Science to secure human AI cooperation
  4. Neurotech to support human flourishing
  5. Spacetech to further exploration

 

+30 years of Foresight

Our Designing Molecular Machines workshop has wrapped up!

We had an amazing lineup of guests and speakers who are tackling the challenges of constructing atomically-precise 3D structures, including pathways using chemistry, applied physics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and engineering. Two days packed with presentations, socials, demos, breakouts, and project proposals!

This was an opportunity for all sorts of researchers and entrepreneurs, from self-taught to ivy league, junior to senior, to freely ask questions and discuss open challenges within Molecular Machines. By fostering this level of interdisciplinary engagement, we hope to truly inspire experts to collaborate across fields.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us, and especially co-chairs Ben Reinhardt, Adam Marblestone, and William Shih.
