Craig Venter Quotes

It’s very expensive to treat chronic diseases Picture Quote #1

I don’t see any absolute biological limit on human age Picture Quote #1

Intellectual property is a key aspect for economic development Picture Quote #1

San Francisco is one of my favorite cities on the planet Picture Quote #1

People think they’re making individual decisions for themselves and their family not to get vaccinated. It’s not just an individual choice - you’re a hazard to society Picture Quote #1

We’re a country of laws and rules, and the Supreme Court has ruled that life forms are patentable entities Picture Quote #1

I naively thought that we could have a molecular definition for life, come up with a set of genes that would minimally define life. Nature just refuses to be so easily quantified Picture Quote #1

Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature Picture Quote #1

When you think of all the things that are made from oil or in the chemical industry, if in the future we could find cells to replace most of those processes, the ideal way would be to do it by direct design Picture Quote #1

There is a long history of how DNA sequencing can bring certainty to people’s lives Picture Quote #1

The day is not far off when we will be able to send a robotically controlled genome-sequencing unit in a probe to other planets to read the DNA sequence of any alien microbe life that may be there Picture Quote #1

Genome design is going to be a key part of the future. That’s why we need fast, cheap, accurate DNA synthesis, so you can make a lot of iterations of something and test them Picture Quote #1

Genetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth’s environment Picture Quote #1

Since my own genome was sequenced, my software has been broadcast into space in the form of electromagnetic waves, carrying my genetic information far beyond Earth. Whether there is any creature out there capable of making sense of the instructions in my genome, well, that’s another question Picture Quote #1

I think future engineered species could be the source of food, hopefully a source of energy, environmental remediation and perhaps replacing the petrochemical industry Picture Quote #1

I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment Picture Quote #1

I think from my experience in war and life and science, it all has made me believe that we have one life on this planet Picture Quote #1

The trouble is the field of science, medicine, universities, biotech companies - you name it - have been so splintered, layers, sub-divided, hacked that people can spend their entire career studying one tiny little cog of life Picture Quote #1

Right now, oil is being isolated around the globe, and there is a major effort in shipping, trucking and otherwise transporting that oil around to a very finite number of refineries. Biology allows us to make these same fuels in a much more distributed fashion Picture Quote #1

My early years were hardly a model of focus, discipline, and direction. No one who met me as a teenager could have imagined my going into research and making important discoveries. No one could have predicted the arc of my career Picture Quote #1

Space X’s Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars with modules where earthlings can live. My teleporting technology is the number one way those individuals will get new information, new treatments of diseases that will occur on the planet, and new food sources Picture Quote #1

Accuracy in the genetic field will be essential. Errors in testing could be disastrous Picture Quote #1

Part of the problem with the discovery of the so-called breast-cancer genes was that physicians wrongly told women that had the genetic changes associated with the genes that they had a 99% chance of getting breast cancer. Turns out all women that have these genetic changes don’t get breast cancer Picture Quote #1

Knowing what your parents have gives you hints of things, but your genome is a totally unique combination of and interchange of DNA from your parents. There is no one else like you genetically Picture Quote #1

There’s not going to be any one replacement for oil: we need to have hundreds of solutions to this global issue Picture Quote #1

The fact that I have a risk genetically for Alzheimer’s and blindness is not great news. But the reality is that any one of us will have dozens of these risks, and what we have to learn is how to deal with them Picture Quote #1

My greatest fear is not the abuse of technology but that we will not use it at all Picture Quote #1

Even though people pretend that medical records are privileged information, anyone can already get their hands on them Picture Quote #1

I am confident that life once thrived on Mars and may well still exist there today Picture Quote #1

Mathematicians have been hiding and writing messages in the genetic code for a long time, but it’s clear they were mathematicians and not biologists because, if you write long messages with the code that the mathematicians developed, it would more than likely lead to new proteins being synthesized with unknown functions Picture Quote #1
