The point where biology stops being a subject to study and becomes a programmable, hackable, manufacturing platform. It's CRISPR gene editing, synthetic biology that writes DNA from scratch, tissue engineering of organs, and brain-computer interfaces. This is biology as information technology, moving from reading the code of life to writing and debugging it. The potential ranges from curing all diseases and growing meat in vats to designing bespoke babies and creating new, never-before-seen biological systems.
Example: "Advanced biotech isn't just a new drug; it's mRNA vaccines programmed in weeks, bacteria engineered to poop biofuels, and clinical trials for growing new kidneys from a patient's own cells." Advanced Biotechnology
