This new research hub wants to record your life history via your cells

The Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology, which captures biology in real time, is launched by the Allen Institute, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and University of Washington.

What mysteries might a single cell’s time-lapse unlock, and how might it change how we understand disease and the body ‘ granular processes over time and in real time in order to develop new medicines?
